Estate Planning Overview

Pennsylvania Estate Planning Attorneys

A proper estate plan is different for every person and depends on the size of the family, the amount of assets, the presence of a business succession planning and the complexity of the person's wishes. While a simple will may be sufficient for one person, another may need a will, and multiple trusts and powers of attorney.

At Snyder & Wiles, PC, our lawyers understand the need for a personalized estate plan to fit the wishes of you and your family. We have worked closely with many individuals and families to determine how to make estate planning work in their best interests.

Estate Planning and Its Benefits

An estate plan, at its most basic level, lays out the wishes and intentions of the person making it: how property and assets will be distributed to beneficiaries, who will be the children's guardian and who will be the executor of the estate.

Even if you do not have many assets, you should still have an estate plan, especially if you have children. If you do not have an estate plan, an uninformed judge who doesn't know you or your kids will decide who will take care of your children. If you don't appoint an executor, others, even your creditors will appoint one for you.
