Estate planning in today's world includes
"traditional" wills and powers of attorney, federal
estate tax and generation-skipping tax planning;
planning for senior citizens with Medicaid-related
questions; and asset protection planning. As a
consequence of the constantly changing Internal
Revenue Code, and the impact of the Pennsylvania
Inheritance Tax on all estates, professionals in the
Trust and Estate Practice Group are constantly challenged to
maintain a high level of professional competence in
the understanding, counseling, drafting, and
implementation of appropriate plans to meet both the
goals of the client and minimization of tax impact.
The attorneys in the Trust and Estate Practice Group take
pride in handling some of the largest estate
planning and estate and trust administration matters
in northeastern and central Pennsylvania. Recognized
throughout the Commonwealth, attorneys in the Trust
and Estate Practice Group are frequent contributors to
continuing education programs for the Pennsylvania
Bar, Estate Planning Councils, and related
organizations.
The complexities of a trust and estate practice
extend beyond will drafting and the probating of
estates. A trust and estate lawyer is frequently
called upon to address various issues relating to
real estate, securities, banking transactions,
contract law, etc., as those areas impact upon their
clients.
Unfortunately, the administration of estates and
trusts sometimes results in litigation. The Trust
and Estate Practice Group is experienced in Orphans' Court
litigation. Our members have appeared on behalf of
clients in Orphans' Courts throughout Eastern
Pennsylvania, and have frequently lectured to other
lawyers throughout the Commonwealth.
