Wills and Estates

Doylestown, Pennsylvania, Wills and Estate Lawyer

Will, estate and guardianship laws are among the most important legal tools available. They can protect property acquired over a lifetime, and ensure that wishes regarding the care of minor children are understood and followed.

The Law Office of Christopher J. Serpico offers full and experienced estate administration legal services, from the drafting of wills to complex estate and inheritance litigation. If you were removed from a will and suspect it was a result of duress or undue influence, we can represent you in court. If a family member has passed away, we can distribute property and conduct all other actions advisable and necessary under probate law.

In addition, we offer experienced legal services for these common and indispensable estate legal tools:

  • Guardianships. Guardianships are most often arranged in wills, and allow parents to determine who will care for their minor children in the event of parental death or incapacity. By arranging guardianship duties and powers, parents can prevent the courts from determining who will care for their children.
  • Living wills. Living wills, health care directives and health care powers of attorney can be simple to create, and allow you the power to determine your care in the event of catastrophic illness or injury and to provide guidance to the family members who might manage your health care.
  • Trusts. Living trusts are legal entities created by an individual for the purpose of keeping property out of probate upon death. For example, an individual may transfer their home from their personal ownership to a trust which they control. The trust has a named beneficiary who simply takes control of the trust and the property placed in it upon the death of the original owner. The delays, expense and taxes of probate are thus completely avoided.
