Protect Your Assets, Your Family And Your Future

Estate planning involves making arrangements for how your affairs will be handled if you experience a serious injury, illness or death. Your estate plan typically consists of legal documents such as a Will, powers of attorney and trust, but can also consist of arrangements such as deeds, pay-on-death beneficiary endorsements, joint ownership with right of survivorship, etc.

Every estate plan is different and must be customized to your individual needs and concerns. At Marks Elder Law, we work one-on-one with our clients to tailor your estate plan to your unique circumstances. Our lawyers in Western Pennsylvania can even work with your financial adviser, accountant or other professionals as needed.

The Importance Of Having An Estate Plan

Drafting an estate plan now to state your wishes for later is essential as it allows you to declare how you want your affairs handled and by whom. If you become disabled or pass away without an estate plan in place, your wishes may be unknown, questioned or not followed. Your estate may go through the probate process unnecessarily, or where an impersonal judge may make important decisions about you.

Creating an estate plan with our attorneys can help to avoid or reduce significant legal problems and expenses for your family. Additionally, most aspects of your planned estate are flexible and can be changed at any time.

  • Last will and testament
