Probate and Trust Administration

Losing a loved one is hard enough, navigating the legal process shouldn’t make it harder.

We’ll guide your family through probate and estate administration with compassion, clarity, and experience.

Do you know what to do after a loved one passes?

Grief is overwhelming on its own. Now add court paperwork, asset inventories, inheritance tax payments, deadlines, and legal terms like “executor” or “letters testamentary,” and it can quickly feel like too much to handle.

If you’re named as the executor of an estate, a successor trustee, or just trying to make sense of what comes next, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Our experienced team will walk you through every step and help you qualify before the Register of Wills, pay debts, prepare the inheritance tax return, distribute assets, and keep everything on track.

Whether your loved one had a will, trust, or no plan at all, we’ll help you get through it with peace of mind.

What does our probate and trust administration process include?

Every estate is unique, but they all share certain common elements. From beginning to end, we serve as your trusted legal partner, managing the complexities so you can move forward with confidence, without second-guessing every step.

Some of the key services we provide include:

Probate court filings

We prepare and file all required documents and ensure deadlines are met from day one. This step could be avoided by using a Trust.

Executor support and guidance

We advise you on your duties as successor trustee, executor, or administrator, so you avoid personal liability or costly missteps.

Asset valuation and distribution

We help identify, organize, and distribute property to beneficiaries according to the will, or Pennsylvania law if there’s no will.

Estate tax and creditor handling

We prepare the inheritance tax return and ensure proper payment of creditors and debts, so nothing falls through the cracks.

What happens if you’re named executor and don’t know where to start?

Being named the executor of a loved one’s estate can feel like an honor, until the weight of responsibility sets in.

You’re suddenly expected to handle court filings, track down financial accounts, deal with creditors, and manage family expectations, all while grieving.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, confused, and afraid of making a costly mistake.

That’s where we come in. We guide you every step of the way, offering clear guidance and handling the legal complexities so you don’t have to figure it out alone.

You’ll gain peace of mind knowing everything is done the right way, for your loved one, and for you.
