Attorney

Ed is a caring attorney who is detail oriented and whose mission is to create estate plans that work. He has integrity which seems to be a lost virtue these days. You are in good hands with Ed.

Review of Edward Clay, PA

I first met Ed Clay in 2002. He prepared a living trust for me and my now deceased husband in 2002. I like the fact the Ed has annual meetings and offers other seminars throughout the year for trustees and beneficiaries. I trust Ed Clay completely to understand estate laws and keep my living trust... up to date with new estate laws. He's a great attorney and a wonderful family man.

Estate Planning

Ed led me carefully and effectively through the Family Legacy estate planning process to best accomplish my needs and goals in my retirement years. My assets have been placed to preserve and grow their wealth, and in a manner that they can be passed to the next generation in a protected way.

Very satisfied

i have been Ed's client since the 1990's. He handled the estate of my late wife very smoothly during that difficult time. I continue to maintain my estate planning with him because I know he is efficient, capable and trustworthy. By the way, this website will not let me change my recommendation wh...en I erroneously hit the 'no' button. I DO recommend Ed.

Complete Estate Plan Management Experience

We have been a clients for a number of years and continue to be impressed by the thoroughness of the Family Legacy Estate Planning Program offered by Ed. Clay. The program provides the comfort for us and our family that the documents are continually updated, there is an ongoing briefing on any change...s in the law and even training offered to the family members within the program. In our search for managing the right legal partner this is by far the most complete program we have seen for managing our Estate Plans and it is administrated by an understanding individual in Ed. Clay who is dedicated to this field.
