Client Testimonials

I am very happy with the service and the knowledge that I gained about planning for the future. My family can be taken care of thanks to this great program!

Tom and Clara

Thank you for helping me to complete the steps necessary to help my parents with their estate planning. None of us have any knowledge in this area and your information has been extremely helpful. Once again, thank you!

Winnie and Thatcher

-Before I enrolled in MyCare Plan® I did not even know what or how much was involved in planning my estate, what a trust is, probate, or what my family would have to go through if I did not plan for my family after I am gone. MyCare Plan® has helped us get our financial affairs in order. Thanks!
