Scranton Estate Planning, Probate & Trust Administration Lawyer
An Established Scranton Law Firm Focusing On Estate Planning, Probate And Trust Administration
People often neglect to do estate planning or preparation for the certainty of death. They overlook the importance of creating a will or trust because estate plans “are only for rich people” they might say.
This is simply not true. Many non-wealthy people have children, own pets or know exactly how they want to be buried when they pass away.
Without adequate documentation, your loved ones might be left to guess regarding concerning matters that are very important to you.
Outlining such arrangements via a will or other estate documents puts these decision-making powers in your hands. It also alleviates the stress placed on loved ones when the time comes.
