Providing Support for Wills, Trusts and Powers of Attorney

Your will, trust and power of attorney enable you to lay out your wishes for your property and how to manage it in various circumstances. At MPL Law, we have a team ready to guide you and your family through this aspect of the estate planning process. Our team collaborates with you to secure your financial future in the way most beneficial to you.

How Can MPL Law Help?

Our lawyers can perform a comprehensive review of your various assets, including savings, pension funds, real estate holdings and more. Many of these assets are taxed differently, which makes it particularly important to consult with someone well-versed in Pennsylvania estate law. We work with you to develop and refine legal documents relating to your assets to provide detailed instructions and the best outcomes for you and your family.

Our work includes but is not limited to the following tasks.

Preparing or Adapting Wills

A will helps you establish your wishes for property distribution and other matters, like guardianship for your child. We can help you distribute assets following your goals. Our attorneys for wills work with you to establish a list of assets, from property to investments. Then, we create a list of people or organizations who will receive these assets.

Establishing or Administering Trusts

With a trust, you can hand your assets to a trustee who will manage distribution over time. We work with you to establish trust or handle distribution. There are numerous trust types, including but not limited to common revocable living trusts and specialized options like special needs trusts. We explain your options and help you decide what suits your situation. Our attorneys for trusts also serve as administrators who handle the estate to enhance outcomes.

Creating Powers of Attorney

A power of attorney outlines how your estate and other affairs will be managed if you are unable to make your own decisions due to a medical condition or mental incapacity. We will help you tailor this decision-making power based on your particular wishes. Powers of attorney most commonly make decisions regarding healthcare or financial and legal affairs.

Why Is Legal Knowledge for Estate Planning Important?

Estate planning, including the preparation of wills and the assigning of powers of attorney, is important for numerous reasons. Quite often, we put these critical decisions off until it’s too late. Working with an attorney gives you ongoing support, from the initial development of your documents to any changes you need to make later.

Making choices about how you want your assets distributed — and who you want to make decisions about your future when you are unable to do so — may not be easy, but it’s the only way to ensure your wishes are respected. Our attorneys have the knowledge to help you distribute assets according to your wishes while ensuring all documents and assets are in accordance with the law.

An attorney for wills and trusts knows the details of estate options and helps you choose the ones that fit your needs. Legal support during estate planning gives you the chance to set up a trust for a minor child or ease the tax burden your heirs may face.

Pennsylvania is one of a small handful of states that charges an inheritance tax on the shares of assets going to each beneficiary. If you’re not proactive about making decisions to limit this, your loved ones may end up with less than you expected. We help you navigate liabilities and legal risks for more beneficial outcomes.
