Pennsylvania Probate
I represent people who have been named executors of a decedent's will. Executors must meet many responsibilities regarding the assets, property and debts of an estate. I provide effective legal services that help executors meet their many responsibilities, including:
- Inventorying the estate and gathering of assets

- Paying outstanding debts
- Distributing the assets
- Preparing tax returns and closing the estate
