You Need A Will. There is no substitute for having a will and/or living will or health care directive. Why let the state decide how your assets will be distributed? Even more importantly, why invite a court to guess at your intentions in the event you become incapacitated and important decisions need to be made? Is a "Form" Enough? In some instances, a form document with your signature will suffice, but why take the chance with your will, living will, or important power of attorney? You deserve more than a form and you should understand the meaning of each paragraph in your will, durable power of attorney, living will, or advance directive for heath care. We Can Help. For you, our lawyers will draft a legally binding document that is valid under Pennsylvania law, whether it be a will, living will, power of attorney, or other document. We are real, live lawyers, not a computer program or software that spits out a "will" or "living trust" after you input raw data. |
