Review Lynne Spraker

Lynne Spraker: legally effective documents in consideration of finances and personal affairs

Posted by anonymousMon Aug 19 2013

I’ve heard horror stories about invalid Wills and poorly drawn documents that failed to work the way the person intended. So even though I’m single with no children, I sought someone who would work WITH ME, helping me to consider alternatives for, to think through, and to set up legally effective arrangements. On a financial side I sought someone who would advise me about my home, my investments and other property in the event of mental disability and eventual death. I needed help to minimize my potential taxes and fees as well as understand my digital assets. On the personal side, I wanted to make sure if I was unable to give the directions, someone I’d select would do that for me, and would know when I would want heroic measures and when I would prefer they pull the plug. Ten years ago I found Lynne Spraker to be an experienced and respected estate-planning attorney. Lynne gave me the direction I needed, having knowledge of law, sound judgment and logical analytical and reasoning skills. Since creating the documents, she has helped me maintain and update them. I have benefited from her project management, attention to detail and proactive approach. Lynne Spraker is a good listener and her collaborative skills in multi-party work are outstanding. Also I’m impressed that she gives back to our community in many civic and charitable activities.

I am a CPA and a CFP. I recommend clients frequently to Lynne. She has always exhibited all of the above attributes to the highest degree. In addition she always seems to take a personal interest in her clients. She also has prepared all of my personal legal documents. There are really not enough good things to sat about her.

Lynne handled the administration of my late mother's estate for me. My family and I have known Lynne for many years, and have always found her to be extremely professional and courteous. Lynne is a talented lawyer who patiently guided me through the trust administration and probate process and was very responsive to all of my inquiries. I am a customs lawyer and truly appreciated Lynne's help in understanding the nuances of estate and trust issues. Lynne's scope of practice goes beyond estate work - and it is without hesitation that I highly recommend her.
