Estate Administration
We help executors and trustees avoid mistakes and potential liability. We’ll help you deal with creditors, prepare the tax returns, collect and value assets and facilitate timely distribution to the beneficiaries with a written agreement that protects the executor or trustee from personal liability.
Estate Planning
Leave your estate to the loved ones who you wish to inherit, and put the right people in charge! Proper planning can go a long way toward avoiding family disputes. If you don’t have the right documents in place then your estate can pass to the wrong people according Pennsylvania’s intestacy law.
