Pennsylvania Probate
All estates must eventually be settled after their owner passes on. This process is called probate, and nearly all estates are subject to it. If you have been named as the executor of an estate, there are a number of actions you must take in order to legally close the estate. This includes notifying all creditors of the trustee’s death, informing beneficiaries what they will inherit, paying any remaining bills or taxes, and more. This process can be overwhelming to the layperson, which is why our seasoned attorneys are here to guide you every step of the way.
