Straightforward and Dependable Guidance Through Estate Administration
When a loved one passes away, it can be difficult to shift your attention to concerns about his or her estate. It is important to begin taking action to ensure assets are protected and your loved one's wishes are carried out properly as soon as possible. Doing this on your own, however, in an already stressful and emotionally taxing situation can be very difficult and confusing. Working with an experienced estate administration lawyer, on the other hand, can ease your burdens and provide crucial assistance to ensure that the distribution of the decedent's estate follows his or her intentions. Without knowledge and efficient legal advice, Pennsylvania law will govern the administration, and critical efficiencies may be lost.
At the law offices of David F. Wedge, Attorney at Law, we work diligently to help our clients throughout Lancaster County and the surrounding area gain peace of mind in the probate process and estate administration. In working with an attorney, you may have concerns about paying a percentage of your inheritance for legal services. We do not charge in this manner. Our law firm provides legal services at a reasonable hourly rate for your needs. You do not pay a percentage just to close your estate either.
Contact us today to schedule an initial consultation with Mr. Wedge. In your initial meeting, he will help you understand the legal process of estate administration and/or probate, and he will discuss your best opportunities for cost savings.
Knowledgeable Representation When You Need It Most
In some cases, distribution of estate assets and the intentions of decedents are contested. We work to ensure our clients' best interests are incorporated and strongly advocated for in will contests and other issues that might arise such as:
- Unscrupulous disinheritance
- Ambiguous wills
- Disappointed heirs
- Fiduciary misdeeds
- Property right disputes
- Tax disputes
Developing an Estate Plan to Facilitate Efficient Distribution
We can help you make sure your estate is distributed according to your wishes. It is beneficial to work with a qualified Lancaster probate attorney who is thoroughly familiar with the process of probate and estate administration.
A will, medical power of attorney (also known as a living will) and health care directives are important to put in place in case you become incapacitated. Such professionally drafted legal documents can protect assets and make provisions for assets before something unfortunate occurs. We can help your family avoid probate complexities and distressing situations. If you have children or heirs with special needs, we can also discuss guardianships that can ensure their needs are taken care of and your wishes are followed.
