Michael F. Cuqua, Esq. - Licensed in RI and MA

My practice focuses on real estate, probate and estate planning. My office represents individuals, families, investors, and small businesses throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

My office regularly handles residential and commercial Real Estate transactions, including purchase and sales agreements, closings, title review, escrow matters, lender representation, and complex property disputes.

In Probate court, I assist executors, administrators, trustees, and beneficiaries with estate administration, fiduciary matters, creditor claims, and contested proceedings. I also represents clients in related litigation, including undue influence claims, breach of fiduciary duty, and real property conflicts.

My office helps individuals and families create clear, effective Estate Plans to protect their assets and ensure their wishes are carried out. Our services include wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advance healthcare directives, as well as planning to minimize probate and protect beneficiaries.

I prioritize a practical approach and attention to detail, working closely with my clients to identify efficient, cost-effective solutions while protecting their legal and financial interests. Whether facilitating a smooth closing or litigating a contested matter, my focus is on clear communication and strategic advocacy.

Background I graduated from Colby College in Waterville, ME with a major in Government. I earned my law degree from Fordham University School of Law in New York City. Two very different campuses but both were great experiences for study and creating relationships.

I am originally from Walpole, MA (south of Boston) where most of my family still lives. I moved to Westerly, RI in 2016 to marry my wife, Sage. We have three children are actively involved in the local community and business landscape. Like all of Westerly, we love the beach and being outdoors - when it’s not snowing.
