We offer the compassionate and informative guidance you need to create a health care power of attorney that clearly conveys your wishes.

The legal process following the loss of a loved one, known as probate, requires a significant amount of effort and attention. Managing the varying details involved in the probate process can be difficult, especially when dealing with the grief of your loss. J. Douglas Clark and his experienced paralegal, Kathi Lutsch, skillfully shoulder the burden of the probate process, allowing you to focus on your emotional well-being.

Disputes involving trusts or probates, commonly known as trust and estate litigation, are often emotionally charged issues. Resolving trust, probate, and will disputes quickly and effectively is important for your family’s finances and well-being. We offer assertive yet compassionate guidance throughout litigation proceedings.



The importance of drafting an effective will cannot be overstated. Individuals who pass away intestate, or without a will, leave much to chance and offer little protection for assets and loved ones’ financial future. Trust us to create the most effective and comprehensive will possible for you.


It is important that your final wishes following your passing be followed. We draft Burial Instructions that are legally enforceable, giving you the peace of mind that your loved ones will be able to honor your preferences for your final resting place.
