Pennsylvania Will and Estate Lawyer
A will is defined as a legal declaration of a person in which that person names one or more people, friends or family members, to manage the estate and to determine the distribution or transfer of property upon that person’s death. The person that creates the will is known as the testator. An estate is defined as the net worth of a person at any point in time during their lifetime. It is also defined as the sum of the person’s legal assets, legal rights, interests and entitlement to property minus all liabilities at the time of their death. A will and estate lawyer is a lawyer that helps the testator of a will draft their will or helps the benefactors of a will determine what they will receive from the will or estate of the deceased person. If you have had your will violated prior to your death or if you feel that you deserve more from the testator upon their death than a will and estate lawyer is someone familiar with the rapidly changing law of wills and estates.

Upon the death of a testator, his or her will is read at a meeting of the testator’s heirs by a lawyer. The lawyer will help to distribute the property mentioned in the will from the estate to the people named as the testator’s beneficiaries. If any beneficiary feels that he or she should be entitled to more property or more money from the testator then a Pennsylvania Will and Estate Lawyer will be able to help the beneficiary contest the will. A contest of a will is when a person raises a verbal, formal objection against the validity of the will and the objection is based on the fact that the actual intent of the testator is not reflected in the will.
A Pennsylvania Will and Estate Lawyer will be able to help a client with one or more of the following objections to a will:
- Lack of disposing mind and memory or testamentary capacity
- Insane delusion
- Duress
- Election against the will by a widowed spouse or orphaned children
- Fraud
- Undue influence
Contact a Pennsylvania Will and Estate Lawyer immediately if you wish to contest the will of a testator or to have your will created.
