Our Estate Planning Services

Wills

A properly drafted will is the cornerstone of any estate plan. We help you clearly articulate how you want your assets distributed, name guardians for minor children, and designate an executor to manage your estate. Our thorough approach ensures your will accurately reflects your intentions and complies with Pennsylvania law.

Trusts

Trusts offer flexibility, privacy, and potential tax advantages that go beyond a simple will. Whether you need a revocable living trust, irrevocable trust, special needs trust, or charitable trust, we'll help you determine the best strategy for your unique situation.


Trusts can help you:


  • Avoid probate
  • Protect assets from creditors
  • Provide for family members with special needs
  • Minimize estate taxes
  • Maintain privacy for your family

Estate Administration

Losing a loved one is difficult enough without navigating complex legal procedures. We guide executors and administrators through the probate process, including:


  • Filing necessary court documents
  • Inventorying and valuing assets
  • Paying debts and taxes
  • Distributing assets to beneficiaries

Powers of Attorney

Plan for the unexpected by designating someone you trust to make financial and healthcare decisions if you become incapacitated. We prepare:


  • Financial powers of attorney
  • Healthcare powers of attorney
  • Living wills and advance directives
