Estate Planning & Administration
Estate Planning Attorney Serving Falls Township
Last updated April 2026
Falls Township has grown into a mixed community of suburban homes and light industrial areas, and many residents have accumulated real property, retirement accounts, and family businesses that need proper planning. Whether you own a home in Fairless Hills, work in one of the local commercial areas, or have been in Falls Township for decades, you need an estate plan that actually works when something happens to you.
We're just ten minutes away on Veterans Highway. You don't need to drive into Philadelphia or wait weeks for an appointment. When you're ready to get your will, trust, or power of attorney in place, you can sit down with us in Bristol and walk out with a real plan - not a form from the internet that creates problems later.
Falls Township residents typically come to us because they own property here, expect to retire here, or have family obligations they want to protect. We handle straightforward wills for people with smaller estates, but we also work with folks who have deferred compensation from their employer, rental properties, or significant retirement savings. We make sure your plan actually covers what you own.
A will does one job: it tells the court who gets what after you die. It does not avoid probate, does not reduce taxes, and does not manage your estate if you become incapacitated tomorrow. A revocable trust, on the other hand, lets you manage your property during your lifetime and transfer it after your death without court involvement. We help you decide which one - or both - makes sense for your situation.
Your power of attorney is just as critical. This document lets someone you trust manage your finances and property if you can't do it yourself. Without one, your family might have to go to court to get authority to pay your bills. A healthcare directive tells doctors what kind of medical treatment you want if you're unable to decide. Both are essential and surprisingly easy to get done right. Learn more about whether you need a trust in Pennsylvania.
When someone dies with a will in Falls Township, the estate goes through probate in Bucks County. That means filing paperwork with the Register of Wills, getting the will admitted to probate, dealing with creditor claims, and eventually distributing property to your beneficiaries. It sounds straightforward, but mistakes in these early steps can cost money and time.
We represent executors and families handling estates here. If you've been named to settle someone's estate, we walk you through your duties, explain your liability, and make sure you don't personally pay debts or taxes that should come from the estate. If the estate goes to probate, we handle the court filings. If it's small enough for a family exemption or a small estate petition, we file that instead. Either way, you know what's coming next.
