Making Things Easier During a Tough Time

Recently my aunt passed away leaving behind an estate that had property in two different states (WA and PA). At the time we felt overwhelmed not knowing where to start. Anna helped my family walk through the different tax considerations for each state, consulting with attorneys in PA to make sure al...l details were considered and covered. Every step of the way she made us feel like our concerns were being heard and was always available to answer our questions. My family not only appreciated Anna's knowledge and expertise, but also the patience and time she devoted to making sure we knew what was happening and that we understood all of our options. We feel so fortunate to have had Anna advising us during a difficult time for our family.

Estate Planning at it's Best!

AMAZING! What a wonderful experience in Estate Planning with Anna Cashman. She is very knowledgeable and experienced, with many great ideas. We needed Estate Planning to span over three generations - from parents' needs to college funds for grandchildren. Anna effortlessly fit all the pieces of the p...uzzle together. She gave us a tremendous sense of security in our planning. Best part - is how workable she is, spending time and patience explaining, guiding, and finalizing. Oh, also making a 'house call meeting' for our convenience! I highly recommend Anna for anyone’s Estate Planning needs! Easy, Knowledgeable Estate Planning!

Great Experience with Estate Planning

Anna Cashman recently helped my husband and me with our estate planning. She was a complete pleasure to work with-- friendly, professional and accommodating. The whole process was completely new and unfamiliar to us, and she walked us through the process so that it was manageable and easy to understa...nd. I would highly recommend Anna Cashman to others looking for help with estate planning.
