Helping People With Last Wills and Testaments Since 1982
A last will and testament is a document that designates which friends and family you want to inherit your money and property. Otherwise, if you die without a written will, your property will be divided according to Pennsylvania law.
A will is always helpful. However, in some situations, a last will and testament is absolutely necessary. You should have a will drawn up if you want to leave property to someone who is not an immediate family member, such as a friend, distant relative or even a church. If you want to leave funds or physical possessions to a child in amounts more or less than he or she would receive under Pennsylvania law, you should have a written will.
This is especially true when a "special needs" child requires a larger gift, or conversely, may no longer be close to you and therefore may receive little or nothing. Decisions such as these are totally appropriate, but they need to be spelled out in a will.
You should also have a written will if you have remarried. You may have children from previous marriages, children with your new spouse, or you might share or separately own property. A great deal of confusion and ill will can be avoided by visiting a lawyer at the Law Offices of Kevin W. Kologinsky. Letting one of our experienced estate planning lawyers help you write a will, one that decides the direction of you and your spouse's money or property upon your deaths, is only wise.
Finally, you should be in touch with our northeast Pennsylvania law offices for another will-related reason: if your estate is large enough to generate estate or inheritance taxes. If you are approaching a sizable, high six-figure level of assets, you should reach out to us right away. We have helped many Pennsylvanians with timely taxation and estate planning advice for more than a quarter-century.
