Review Samantha Rauba

Estate Planning

Posted by anonymousWed Jan 18 2017

We hired Ms. Rauba to review our estate with a focus on security and protection of our assets. It was immediately clear she cared about our concerns, was knowledgeable of the subject and quickly put us at ease. She was never in a hurry and allowed time for us to completely discuss ALL issues. Ms. Rauba pointed out points we had not devoted thought to that would have an impact on our estate. We walked away completely satisfied. She is a very nice and caring lady.
