Pennsylvania Probate

If you have recently lost a loved one in Pennsylvania, you may be faced with the Pennsylvania probate process. In Philadelphia, Bucks County, Montgomery County and Delaware County (areas where we practice), probate generally works the same.

Probate is the process of the county Register of Wills appointing an Executor or Administrator. Whether or not an individual has a will, probate is still typically required.

Sometimes, probate can be handled without attorney assistance in Pennsylvania. However, many Executors or Administrators decide to hire a probate attorney to assist them with ensuring accounting is done properly, creditor issues are dealt with, inheritance taxes and estate taxes are filed properly, etc. Also, an attorney is needed if there are family conflicts, will challenges or estate contests.

You may feel overwhelmed when you realize you have to probate a will and settle an estate. If you need assistance, please call our office at (215) 706-0200. The Law Offices of Jeremy A. Wechsler regularly helps clients navigate the probate and estate administration process in Philadelphia, Bucks County, Montgomery County, Delaware County and other areas in Pennsylvania.

The key to successful probate in Pennsylvania is competent representation to ensure the Executor or Administrator does not face personal liability. Please call us today at (215) 706-0200 to schedule your initial telephone consultation to determine if we can assist you.
