Reading Estate Planning Attorneys

During your initial consultation, we try to obtain a complete understanding of your estate planning desires and intentions. We will find out exactly what the value of your estate is and present the options that are available to you and what their costs will be. We know that the decisions you make are important and we let you make the choices. After you have decided how you want to proceed, our estate planning lawyers will prepare the necessary documents and review them in-depth with you so that you understand what they encompass and what they exactly mean. If you feel the need to change something after you have signed the documents, you can amend them at any time.

Why is estate planning important? There are many reasons, but perhaps the most important one is taxes. Estate taxes can be as high as seventy percent. Federal estate taxes can be up to 45 percent, depending on the size of your estate. Pennsylvania has an inheritance tax ranging from 0 to 15 percent depending upon who the beneficiary is. We can help avoid these taxes through various credits and estate planning techniques such as the unified credit, marital deductions, wills, and trusts.

Our firm provides a full range of estate planning services including wills and trusts and estate administration. For more information about estate planning, visit our Estate Planning Practice Center.
