Mark was very knowledgeable in setting up a trust for my husband and myself. Since losing my husband a few years ago, he has kept me informed and has my best interests in mind when advising me. Mark is trustworthy and I feel confident in the decisions that he has helped me make as I am getting older.

I have "been through the mill" and the gamut finding and working with knowledgeable, professional and non-mercenary lawyers to help my elderly parents with a myriad of unexpected legal issues. I am practically an expert now on who's who in estate planning and elder law in the great Boise area. I have learned that these matters are a specialty; you can run through money like water AND get poor if not even downright damaging advice if you do not find the right person. In elder law, it also really helps to have a heart. The person I dealt with at Idaho Estate Planning is Mark Wight who is the president of this firm. I cannot speak highly enough of Mr. Wight's thoroughness (he briefly quoted law to me rather than giving an opinion about which I was left to wonder how much art and how much science I was hearing), depth of knowledge in his field of specialization plus honesty and heart. He even told me when I could write a certain letter myself! If you have aging parents, get a lawyer YEARS ahead if you can- there is so much more than the drawing up of wills and much needs to be planned for so far in advance. This at equally important whether you fear your folks may run low on cash OR if there is an inheritance anticipated. Do not "just talk to the family lawyer". Specialization in elder law is crucial for these matters. Mr Wight is an expert- with character- that I recommend to the highest degree possible.

Mark goes beyond what is expected in the usual trust attorney/client business relationship. His suggestions are realistic. He provides regular law updates. He also conducts free seminars with guest speakers who address legal issues often facing elder members of society. He also is personable and has a good sense of humor.

I, along with my late wife, have been clients of the law firm ”Idaho Estate Planning” since September of 2002. During this time they have prepared four Trusts for us, directed at providing for a final disposition of our assets to our heirs in a simple, direct and tax efficient manner. We have been very satisfied with the quality of their work, in both the initial preparation, and the ongoing maintenance of these Trusts. The firm’s assistance in the transition to successor trusts, pursuant to the demise of my late wife, was prompt and effective. I have found both the principal, Mr. Mark E. Wight, and the staff of the firm, to be professional, trust worthy, prompt, courteous, and efficient in their work. They have always evidenced a willingness to listen, and to work through our desires and concerns, consistent with the requirements of the various laws and regulations. I give a full and unqualified recommendation of this firm to any who may consider using their services.
