Estate planning is more than making a will and trust. It is an investment in your personal security and the well-being of your loved ones. A current, properly drafted estate plan can save your loved ones from great expense of time, fees taxes and costs. If a loved one did not properly plan for the future we can help to collect and distribute decedent’s assets, involving Probate Court administration. Probate is the legal process by which a person’s debts are paid and assets are distributed. At John T. Clery P.C. we focus on personal service with a personal solution that fits your needs

Estate & Inheritance tax

Avoiding the time and expense of probate
