While remaining sensitive to the emotional and
human issues involved with a decedent's estate, our attorneys, will
advise executors or administrators in the efficient probating of an
estate regardless of its size or complexity.
We can help ease administrative and taxations burdens by
supervising the timely distribution of assets, obtaining appraisals
of assets, filing inventory of assets, collecting debt and asset
information, resolving disputes, collection of life insurance
proceeds and other benefits, and preparing and filing the
applicable federal estate tax return and/or Pennsylvania
inheritance tax return. From the first estate decisions to the
final distribution of assets to the beneficiaries, we work closely
with the estate's executor or administrator to ensure that he or
she is involved in every aspect of the administration of the
estate. And if the need arises, we are also experienced in
defending and challenging wills, distribution disputes, and
fiduciary liability actions.
