A Will (also known as a Last Will and Testament) is an absolutely essential legal document that enables you to control how your estate will be handled after you die. With a properly drafted Will, you can do the following:
If you don’t have a Will, Pennsylvania law will control what happens to your property, and it’s safe say that the result will probably not be what you would have expected – or wanted. So it’s important to make sure your wishes are spelled out in a legally valid document.
If there is any possibility that a beneficiary or family member may challenge the terms or the validity of your Will, it is vitally important that you work with a qualified attorney who can draft it in a way that will withstand a potential legal challenge.
