A Last Will & Testament allows you to decide what happens to your property, who manages your estate, and who will care for your children after your death. Working with a Pittsburgh estate planning attorney ensures your will is legally valid under Pennsylvania law and clearly reflects your wishes.
Why it Matters
Without one, there is no clear direction, and the Commonwealth dictates who your heirs are under intestacy laws.
A will gives you control over how your estate is handled. It gives your loved ones clear direction and removes the guesswork from the process for them.
Without it, the law - not you - decides who receives your property.
What's Included
- Consultation to discuss your family, assets, and planning goals
- A customized Last Will & Testament drafted under Pennsylvania law
- Appointment of an executor to manage your estate

Who Needs This
Any adult who owns a home or carries simple assets should have a Last Will and Testament to decide who inherits their assets and who manages the estate.
For more complicated situations with multiple assets in different areas, a trust might be a better fit.
Process
To get the process started, simply call Veres Law.
We will discuss your situation and what is best for you. I then draft the will, tailored to your wishes, we meet to review it in person and sign all in one sitting.
