Wills, Trusts, and Estate Planning

Media, Pennsylvania, Wills and Trusts Attorneys

The death of a loved one can leave behind more than grief; it can leave behind unanswered questions about the person’s estate and affairs. Many times this leads to trouble within the family, especially when substantial assets are involved.

In order to make sure your final wishes are carried out as you intend, you should plan now, while you’re still in good health and capable of making important decisions. At the Media, Pennsylvania, law firm of Berman & Asbel, LLP, we can help.

Our practice in wills, estate planning, and estate administration can help you plan for your and your family's future. Our attorneys can work with you to design a plan using wills, trusts, and legal entities to minimize estate taxes and facilitate transfer of assets to your chosen beneficiaries.

In addition, we can help you draft documents such as living wills, powers of attorney, and medical powers of attorney. Such documents are important to enable your wishes to be carried out and to enable your financial affairs to be managed in the event that you die or become disabled.

Among the many estate planning matters with which our firm can provide skilled assistance include:

• Wills, living wills
• Trusts, including a living trust, irrevocable trust, revocable trust, testamentary trust, children’s trust, grandchildren’s trust, spousal trust, shelter trust, charitable trust, charitable remainder trust, or insurance trust
• Estate tax planning
• Powers of attorney
• Guardianships

We work with families and couples of all types, including non-married couples and same-sex couples who often need to make special arrangements due to the fact the law does not officially recognize them as family.

If a member of your family has become incapacitated and has not already made planning arrangements, we can assist with obtaining guardianship through the courts.

Estate planning is not a one-time proposition but an ongoing process that requires care throughout your lifetime. Let us be your partner and facilitator in using the law to your best advantage in carrying out your wishes.

Whatever your estate planning needs, whether for yourself, your spouse, a parent, another family member, or just a friend, contact the skilled Media, Pennsylvania, wills and trusts attorneys at Berman & Asbel, LLP, today.
