Estates, Administration & Planning

Philadelphia Estate Administration Lawyer

Have you made arrangements for the protection of your family or your business when you die? Estate planning is the process of protecting your assets and addressing the specific needs of you, your family and your business. Contrary to what you may think, estate planning is not just for the very wealthy; the owner of a small business has the same need for estate planning.

At Kaplin Stewart, we can design a personalized estate plan to protect your assets, preserve your personal values and pass along your estate to your loved ones. We offer full guidance and support during the difficult process of talking about your own death. We provide you with the confidence you need to make the right choices regarding estate, gift, charitable and fiduciary tax income planning.

If you recently lost a loved one and are charged with the duty of administering an estate, you realize that the process is extremely complicated. It requires the assistance of a legal professional with knowledge of the relevant legal documents, who can navigate the probate system, and who will effectively distribute the assets of the estate. Our lawyers guide executors, administrators, and guardians through the estate administration process, filing all necessary local, state and federal returns.

Our strategy is to work with you and your other professional advisors to minimize taxes, maximize assets and protect your family and your business. We coordinate with other practice areas in the firm to take advantage of their tax, real estate and business knowledge. At Kaplin Stewart we will assist you from the preparation of your will through the administration of your estate. Our goal is to make sure your wishes are properly documented and carried out.
