Montgomery County Estate Planning Lawyer

Jenkintown, Plymouth Meeting, & Philadelphia Estate Planning Attorney

Many people question whether or not they need an estate plan. Other people utilize computer software to prepare a simple will or other estate planning documents. The fact is, an estate plan prepared by an experienced lawyer offers you and your loved ones a number of advantages. An estate plan will allow for the orderly transfer of your property. It can also give your loved ones guidance on how to proceed in the event you are incapacitated. A will and other estate planning tools must follow a number of specific legal formalities in order to be recognized as valid. If you try the "do it yourself" approach, you could be setting your loved ones up to make some difficult decisions down the road.

Philadelphia Estate Administration Lawyer

The probate process refers to the transfer of a person's estate to his or her heirs. Upon a person's death, a personal representative is appointed, either by the terms of the will or by a court. The personal representative is obligated to perform a number of specific duties as to the estate. If you have been named personal representative, an experienced estate administration lawyer can help you carry out these duties, such as:

  • Giving notice to the public and any creditors
  • Taking inventory of the estate assets
  • Paying creditors and distributing the remaining proceeds of the estate to heirs
