During law school, he clerked at the University’s Planned Giving department, helping the school claim gifts that had been left to it in donors’ wills and trusts. During this time, he saw the impact of bad estate planning, both from self-drafted documents and overly complicated documents prepared by lawyers, and how it prevented donors’ wishes from being fulfilled and delayed distributions to family members.
Clark’s approach to estate planning is that it needs to fit each client and family. The dirty secret to estate planning is that many plans aren’t well tailored; people who think that all they need is a “simple will” are often underestimating their needs, online services offering fill-in-the-blanks documents fail to ask the important questions generate documents which may not be enforceable in Colorado, and lawyers who pump out the same thick binder full of documents for every client are making things more confusing and difficult to administer than they need to be.
By combining the attorney supervision you’d find in a traditional law firm with the convenience of online tools, Colorado Virtual Will makes planning for your future easy. Starting every process with a free attorney consultation help you to make informed choices about what you plan, explore creative solutions, and cover all the bases to keep your family safe.
Ironically, Clark’s estate plan isn’t complete because he and his wife can’t figure out, if something were to happen to them, who they want to bless/punish with the responsibility of caring for their sweet/monstrous kids.
When he’s not running his law practice and studying recent estate planning law developments, it feels like the rest of his time is spent hanging out at his kids’ school and sporting events.
