Probate law services in Scranton, PA, and surrounding areas

Proper probate planning is necessary to avoid the consequences of dying intestate. Without a will, probate court will allocate your assets according to Pennsylvania state laws and tax the value of your assets at the maximum legal rate. Furthermore, the probate court will cost your family additional time and expense.

In addition to avoiding lengthy, costly probate court sessions, proper estate planning is ideal for:

• Living will
• Interactions with register of wills 
• Assisting with post-death distribution of property
• Avoiding substantial taxes
