As humans, we are forced to face the facts: Our lives are finite, and sometimes end
unpredictably. Perhaps the best way to alleviate anxiety about such dismal realities is to plan
ahead and do the legal work necessary to ensure all is in order for our loved ones.

The Law Office of Lena A. Clark, LLC, helps clients make the processes of estate planning and
probate easy and relatively painless. Clark, who opened her downtown Frederick office in 2015, grew up in Estonia and has lived in the United States for 23 years. About eight years ago, she moved to Frederick.
“I was amazed at how awesome it is,” she recalled.

Although Clark worked on a wide range of cases after earning a juris doctorate from the
Catholic University of America Columbus School of Law, she opted to narrow her areas of
specialty for her own firm.

Clark’s practice focuses on wills, trusts, special needs law, estate planning, trust and estate
administration, family trust matters, and on related areas of federal and state tax laws involving
transfers of family wealth to succeeding generations, and planning for after-death disposition of
property. She advises clients on estate planning documents and works closely with fiduciaries
on probate and trust administration matters.

Clark is assisted in her practice by law clerk Matthew Bendorf, a recent graduate of the
University of Baltimore School of Law who has lived in the Frederick area for more than 21
years.

Clark is proud of having created a “streamlined process of making a will,” the prospect of which
is “dreadful to most people” because of the time, expense and psychological implications.
“When the documents have been prepared and executed, it’s like having insurance in place …
and we make it easy and fast,” Clark said.

“Everyone over age 18 should have this in place – in case anything happens,” Clark added,
noting that “a lot of young people have come in to prepare these basic documents in recent
years.”
