WHY PACHTMAN LAW OFFICE SHOULD BE YOUR ATTORNEYS FOR ESTATE PLANNING AND PROBATE

While it is upsetting when a loved one dies, it is still crucial to take the time to make the necessary legal arrangements regarding the administration of their estate. 

This is the time to call the experienced attorneys and caring staff of Pachtman Law Office. Since 1984 we have assisted clients with administering both small and large estates.  We’ll guide you through this difficult time, including setting up the estate, collection of assets, calculation and payment of estate taxes, and the distribution of assets.   

What is Probate?

Probate is the court procedure by which the decedents will is accepted by the Court unless it is successfully challenged by a beneficiary or potential beneficiary. In addition, property of your loved one is located and inventoried, unpaid creditors of your loved one are given the opportunity to file claims against the estate, and fees for the administration of the estate are approved and paid.  Once all of the creditors are paid, the probate assets are then distributed to the beneficiaries. 

Because of the numerous details and technical requirements that must be satisfied, you need an attorney who is competent and experienced in probate and estate administration.  Oftentimes, an attorney can more easily facilitate this often-complicated process in a timely and effective manner, than can an executor or administrator doing it on his or her own. An attorney can also play an important role in seeking cooperation between the parties involved, helping to ensure a smooth transfer of assets from your loved one to the beneficiaries so that you can focus on what is most important.

Pachtman Law Office has been handling these estate matters since 1984 and will handle the estate with sensitivity, and the lowest fees* in the area. Call Marc Pachtman now at 610-859-3700 or click here for a free no obligation case evaluation.
