Depending on your goals and your circumstances a comprehensive estate plan can include a will, trusts, powers of attorney, and advance health care directives. Making sure your wishes are known and recorded can help provide you with peace of mind and help preserve the value of your estate so that it can do the most good for your loved ones.

Probate

When a loved one has passed, the responsibility of administering the estate both testate and intestate and shepherding it through the probate process can be a difficult burden. Most people are unfamiliar with the process of acting as an executor/estate administrator. Mark Rater is happy to help take that additional weight off a loved one’s shoulders so they can focus on what matters most during a difficult time. Mark helps people understand what needs to be done and how to do it.
