About Stephen Clemmer

With over 36 years in practice and a deep focus on estate planning since 2005, I’ve worked with over 30,000 individuals to bring peace of mind and clarity to their most important decisions. My goal is simple:

  • To help you choose the right people to manage your affairs,
  • Protect your estate from probate,
  • And give your family a clear plan to follow when it matters most.

What I Do

I focus entirely on revocable living trusts, pour-over wills, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives—not probate, not high-risk tax strategies, not litigation. Just thoughtful, clear estate planning.

I’m here to guide you through questions like:

  • Who will step in if I can’t make decisions for myself?
  • How can I protect my home or savings from probate?
  • What instructions do I need to give my trustee or executor?
