About
Rebecca Mason
Estate planning attorney. Racine, Wisconsin. Solo practice since 2012.
Rebecca has spent her career helping Southeast Wisconsin families plan for what comes next — first wills and powers of attorney, revocable living trusts, and the harder conversations about guardianship when a parent or spouse can no longer make decisions for themselves.
Her practice is intentionally narrow. She does not take on business litigation, divorces, or criminal matters. She does estate planning and the court work that comes with it — which means when probate gets contested, or a guardianship petition has to be filed under a deadline, she is not learning the process on your file.
How Rebecca works with clients
Most first conversations with Rebecca are short. Families call with a specific question — my mother was just diagnosed with dementia, what do we do? — and the first job is to hear the situation, not sell a package. From there, if an engagement makes sense, Rebecca walks through what is needed, what it costs, and what the timeline looks like, before anyone signs anything.
For estate planning, that usually means one working meeting to gather facts and talk through choices, a draft sent for review, and a signing appointment once you are satisfied. For probate and guardianship, the cadence depends on the court — but you will know at every step who is doing what and when to expect the next update.
A Main Street practice, by design
Rebecca's office sits at 245 Main Street, Suite 201 in downtown Racine — one block from the Racine County Courthouse at 730 Wisconsin Avenue. That is not just a convenient address. When a probate matter or a guardianship hearing lands on the docket, being able to walk across the street and confer with a register in probate or a guardian ad litem saves clients time and money.
The office serves families across Racine, Kenosha, Milwaukee, and Walworth counties. Meetings happen in person in Racine, by phone, or by video call — whatever works for your family.
What Rebecca believes about estate planning
An estate plan is not a binder. It is a set of decisions — about money, about medical care, about guardianship of minor children, about who speaks for you when you cannot speak for yourself. The documents are just how Wisconsin law records those decisions.
The plans that work, in Rebecca's experience, are the plans the family actually understands. That is why drafts come with explanations written in plain language, why Rebecca spends real time at the signing appointment making sure every document is explained, and why she encourages families to revisit their plan every three to five years — or sooner after a major life change.
Community
Rebecca is a Racine resident and has practiced in the community for more than a decade. She writes frequently on Wisconsin estate planning topics — from why everyone needs an estate plan, to Wisconsin's witness requirements, to planning for blended families — on the firm blog.
