Ryann M. Siclari

When my wife suddenly passed away in 2017, our Trust written in 2004 had to be updated in several areas. Ryann diligently studied our Trust documents and proposed specific actions for updates and revisions. Examples include retitling of assets, consolidation of financial accounts, transfer of assets... not previously included in the Trust, preparation and filing of Federal and State estate inheritance tax forms, notifications of all beneficiaries and heirs in law designated in my wife's Will. Ryann expertly and systematically executed the entire program and provided an invaluable guidance to me as trustee on how to handle many specific issues of the estate. Without her expertise, knowledge of the estate law and sound advise, I wouldn't be to perform my duties as trustee of our estate. Ryann was very responsive to all my queries and promptly addressed any issues. As a result, all my estate matters were resolved efficiently. I'm very grateful that Ryann was my attorney.

We came to Ryann at a difficult time, after the death of a parent, when we needed to figure out how to handle a very complex estate, a living trust, and elder care situation with a surviving parent in need of care. Ryann walked through the existing Trust, explaining what it meant and exactly what n...eeded to be done to handle the estate and move assets to the Trust. Ryann helped us with the Power of Attorney for the surviving parent as well as update of the documents. Ryann was very knowledgeable and helped us understand how to execute all of the steps necessary for the estate and managing assets to move to the Trust. Ryann handled probate, the retitle of the residence, the creation of a medicaid planning trust, for which she also provided expert legal advice. She easily handled the estate taxes, which were also very complicated, and explained very clearly what was documented and what it meant to the estate. Ryann also recommended other lawyers for 2 situations that required special handling, for which she felt others could better serve us. I think she is an outstanding lawyer, who is very thorough and truly helpful and able to work on even the most complex and trying estates.
