Estate Planning

Planning For Your Future and Your Family's

It can be unpleasant to think about what the world will be like after you are gone, but a little planning today can save you and your loved ones a lot of time, money and headaches in the future.

At the Mark Ignacio Law, APC in La Mesa, our highest priority is to give you the peace of mind that comes with knowing that you have a customized, thorough plan in place just in case of an unexpected accident. There is no way to predict when you might suddenly be incapacitated for days or months, or when you will be gone. That's why it's crucial to work with attorney Mark Ignacio to create an estate plan that works for you.

We offer a wide range of estate planning services, including:

• Advance health care directives: Designate an agent to handle health care decisions in case of incapacity.
