• You and your families assets are protected
• You have reduced or eliminated estate tax problems
• Family conflicts regarding your estate are addressed by you rather than the courts
• That only those you want to receive funds from your estate receive those funds
• Your family knows what your wishes are regarding healthcare if you are unable to communicate your desires

Your estate plan should fit the unique qualities and goals of your life. The Law Office of Mark C. McClure will examine your specific concerns and goals to establish the best estate plan for your specific needs.

Fun fact: In 1926 a man from Toronto had a will that became famous for offering the bulk of his estate to the woman in his town who had the greatest number of children in the ten years after his death. It is said that locals referred to the ten years from 1926 to 1936 as the “the Great Stork Derby.”. Attempts to invalidate the will by his heirs were not successful, and the bulk of his fortune eventually went to four women.

With the help of the Law Office of Mark McClure you can complete your estate planning responsibilities with confidence, and close the estate knowing you have taken care of every detail.
