Estate planning is legal knowledge and also an understanding of families and how the probate process actually works. I have drafted many different types of trusts and understand the difficulties in administration. My documents are created with the understanding that people change and these documents need to stand the test of time. Too many times attorneys create documents that thwart the intentions of the testator. I love my clients. I love what I do. I look forward to meeting you and helping you create a distribution plan for your heirs.

I endorse this lawyer. I have known and worked with Ms. McMaken for nearly 30 years. She is an outstanding practitioner in estate planning, business formation and transactional matters, and complex family law. I have consulted with her on many matters and would not hesitate to refer anyone to her for assistance in her areas of expertise.
