Navigating Estate Law with the Law Offices of Anthony Urban: Your Trusted Partner in Mahanoy City

Dealing with the loss of a loved one is an incredibly challenging time, compounded by the complexities of managing their estate. At the Law Offices of Anthony Urban in Mahanoy City, Pennsylvania, we handle estate and probate law and offer comprehensive services to guide you through every aspect of estate administration with care and precision.

Comprehensive Estate Administration Services

1. Gathering Information About Decedent’s Assets and Debts: The first crucial step in estate administration is identifying and compiling all assets and debts of the decedent. Our team meticulously gathers all necessary information to ensure that every asset—whether real estate, financial accounts, or personal property—is accounted for, and any outstanding debts are identified. This thorough process helps prevent future disputes and ensures that the estate is managed effectively.
2. Filing a Petition to Appoint a Personal Representative: The next step involves filing a petition to appoint a personal representative of the estate, such as an administrator if there is no will or an executor if there is one. This role is crucial as the personal representative will be responsible for managing the estate's affairs. Our firm prepares and files the necessary court documents, ensuring that the appointment process is handled smoothly and efficiently.
3. Sending Required Orphan’s Court Notices: Pennsylvania law requires that certain notices be sent to beneficiaries, heirs, and creditors, as well as the Department of Revenue Estate Recovery Division. We handle the preparation and distribution of these required Orphan’s Court notices, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and keeping all parties informed throughout the process.
4. Filing an Inheritance Tax Return and Estate Inventory: Filing the inheritance tax return is a critical step in managing the decedent’s estate. Our experienced attorneys prepare and file the necessary inheritance tax returns and estate inventory, ensuring accuracy and compliance with Pennsylvania’s tax laws. This meticulous approach helps in avoiding potential penalties and delays which can cost money.  In fact, we strive to file and direct that taxes are paid within three months to save money through an early discount.
5. Preparing Formal or Informal Accounting of the Estate: Accurate and transparent accounting is essential for the proper administration of an estate. We prepare an accounting of the estate, providing a detailed record of financial transactions, distributions, and expenses. This ensures transparency and helps in maintaining trust among beneficiaries.
