Estate Planning

Pennsylvania Estate Planning and Probate Attorneys

Estate planning supplies answers to questions about the personal and financial security of a family and its individual members. The best time to consider these questions is while you have the health and judgment necessary for making important decisions. Contact the law firm of Berman & Asbel in Media to learn how we can help.

Our practice in wills, estate planning and estate administration can help you plan for your and your family's future.

We provide dependable advice and skilled client service across the spectrum of basic estate planning needs and problems, including such matters as:

• Last will and testament
• Durable powers of attorney
• Disability planning, involving special needs trusts and other instruments to protect the eligibility for Medicaid of a loved one or yourself
• Trusts, including irrevocable life insurance trusts, testamentary trusts, estate tax credit bypass trusts, living trust, charitable remainder trust, and many other forms of revocable and irrevocable trusts
• Guardianships and guardianship litigation
• Estate tax planning

Our lawyers also handle trust and estate administration needs, from the probate of a will to the final accounting. In the event of a dispute about the terms or enforceability of a will or trust, we can represent your interests in probate litigation or mediation.

We represent people in Greater Philadelphia and southeast Pennsylvania

We work with families and couples of all kinds, including non-married couples and same-sex couples who need to take account of the fact that the law does not officially recognize them as family.

Estate planning is not a one-time proposition. Instead, it's an ongoing process that requires periodic attention as your circumstances and your family's needs change. Our law firm can serve as your partner and facilitator to help you get the most out of the legal protection available to you.

Whatever your estate planning needs, whether for yourself, your spouse, a parent, another family member or just a friend, contact a trusts and estates lawyer at Berman & Asbel in Media.
