Creating Your Last Will and Testament

Roberta A. Schreiber, Attorney at Law, has been helping individuals and families in Massachusetts with their Estate Planning needs for over twenty-five years. From creating Living Wills and Health Care Proxies to establishing Trusts focusing on Asset Protection, she tailors her services to meet clients' needs. Contact her North Reading law office to schedule an initial consultation.

Roberta works with clients' accountants and financial advisors to create effective estate plans, including wills and trusts. In preparing your Last Will and Testament, she fully examines your situation:

• If you have minor children, she offers advice on how to select and name a Guardian in your Will for your children should you die before they become adults
• If you have a blended family with children from prior marriages, she helps you address how to ensure your children are all protected in their inheritance rights
• If you have significant assets, she advises how to make the most of Estate and Gift Tax exemptions so that the size of your estate is reduced considerably — ultimately reducing the amount of Estate Taxes paid
• If you have specific items of personal property, heirloom furniture, china, jewelry, or artwork that you want to give to a particular person, a will allows you to ensure that there are no arguments over who receives what among your beneficiaries
• If there are broken relationships in your family that may cause questions to be raised over the validity of your will, you can be confident that all legal requirements in establishing wills will be followed. This is especially important if you plan to cut someone out of your will.

Whatever your situation is, Roberta has the experience, knowledge, and skill to tailor your Will to meet your needs and goals. Roberta has probably seen circumstances similar to yours in her over 25 years of practice, and is able to quickly identify the potential areas of concern and how best to address them.
