PROBATE ESTATE ADMINISTRATION & ESTATE PLANNING AT THE BEST POSSIBLE PRICE

The Law Firm of American Wills & Estates offers the best prices for Probate Estate Administration and Estate Planning legal services in both the City of Pittsburgh and throughout Western Pennsylvania. We have been assisting clients through the often difficult estate administration process with competency, compassion and care for over 25 years. Unlike many law firms that dabble in or offer probate and estate planning services as a small part of their overall practices, our law firm’s entire practice is focused exclusively on these two areas of law.

If you’ve recently lost a loved one and find yourself in need of guidance in terms of how to proceed with the administration of their estate, look no further. We understand that this is already a stressful and difficult time for your family, and we strive to make this whole process as simple and straightforward as we possibly can. When you hire our law firm we will guide you through the probate process from start to finish with both skill and compassion. Our Probate Estate Administration services include, but are not limited to the following:

●OPENING THE ESTATE AND OBTAINING EITHER LETTERS TESTAMENTARY OR LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION

●SECURING THE SHORT CERTIFICATES THAT YOU’LL NEED TO HANDLE AND CONDUCT ESTATE BUSINESS AND BANKING TRANSACTIONS

Best of all, we typically provide our probate estate administration services based on a flat fee basis. This means that you’ll know right from the start exactly how much this whole process is going to cost. We also do not expect to be paid until our administration of the estate has been completed.

When it comes to Estate Planning, we’ve also taken steps to take the fear and anxiety out of that whole process as well. We offer all of our Estate Planning services on a flat fee basis and haven’t changed our prices for most of these services in over 20 years. Whether you need just a simple Last Will and Testament or a more sophisticated trust to protect your family’s particular estate planning needs, we’ve got you covered. Our Estate Planning services include, but are not limited to all of the following:

●Last Will and Testaments starting at just $75.00

No one likes to talk about their own mortality, but not putting an estate plan in place is a sure way to leave both yourself and your family at unnecessary risk. At American Wills & Estates we strive to make the estate planning process simple, straightforward and stress-free. We offer individual estate plans consisting of a Last Will and Testament, Durable Power of Attorney and Living Will for just $175.00.
