Pennsylvania Estate Planning

Many people avoid getting their affairs in order because thinking about death can be uncomfortable and sad, but the truth is that none of us are promised tomorrow. If you pass away without an estate plan in place, all the wealth you have worked your entire life to build and intended to pass on as your family’s inheritance could be lost to taxes, creditors, and court costs. Your family may be left in a difficult financial position, without a clear idea of your wishes; this could result in additional stress or even conflict that they have to face on top of their grief. We prevent any of that from occurring. Work with Daly Law Office’s experienced estate planning lawyer to get the important legal documents and tools you need to preserve your legacy in the way you intend!

Do you know what will happen to your family if something unexpected happens to you? What about your assets – your bank accounts, your house, your retirement? What if you experience a medical crisis? Who will make health care decisions for you, and what should those decisions be? Maybe even reading those questions is making you feel uneasy or anxious because you don’t know the answers, but that’s exactly what an estate plan does; puts your wishes for the future in legal terms in writing, so that you can have peace of mind and protect your family and your assets from whatever lies ahead. Your estate plan should be unique and multi-faceted, just like your life is. Templated, simple “DIY” plans may not be enough to fully comply with state laws or fully guard everything that’s important to you. Our estate planning attorney has over a decade of experience helping clients in Pennsylvania create legal tools that are personalized to their exact needs. An estate plan is more than just a will; depending on your specific family dynamics and financial situation, we may recommend that your estate plan include:

• A will
• A trust
• A power of attorney
• A health care proxy
• An advance directive
• A guardianship designation
• And more.

We will draft those documents for you. If you have special considerations, such as a family member with special needs, a family business, or children who will need their inheritance managed until they are of a certain age, we can assist you. We can also gather titles, property documents, proof of identity documents, insurance policies, and other relevant paperwork to include in your estate plan. Your estate plan will guarantee that your hard-earned wealth won’t have to go through probate (an expensive Pennsylvania court process) upon your death or incapacitation, and that your loved ones will be taken care of.
