Estate Planning Lawyer in PA FAQs

A will ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes and appoints an executor to manage your estate. However, a will alone may not provide full protection—our estate planning attorneys can help you build a comprehensive estate plan that addresses every aspect of your legacy.

An executor is responsible for carrying out your will, managing your estate, and ensuring your instructions are followed precisely.

Estate planning is essential for adults of all ages. Major life events—such as marriage, having children, or acquiring significant assets—make it crucial to establish or update your estate plan. The sooner you plan, the greater your peace of mind.
