Why Estate Planning Matters

Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy. In fact, every adult in Armstrong County, regardless of age, marital status, or financial situation, can benefit from having a solid plan in place. Without a valid will or trust, your estate may be subject to Pennsylvania’s intestacy laws, which can result in outcomes that may not reflect your true wishes.

• Deeds
• Estate & Trust Administration
• Irrevocable Tax Trusts
• Powers of Attorney
• Remarriage Protections
• Probate
• Special Needs Planning
• Trusts

We also help clients with a variety of elder law issues, such as:

The Armstrong County Court System: What You Need to Know

If you are dealing with an estate matter in Armstrong County, your case will likely go through the Armstrong County Court of Common Pleas, located at 500 E Market St, Kittanning, PA 16201. This courthouse is the central hub for probate and estate-related filings in the county. The Register of Wills and Clerk of Orphans’ Court–offices for administering estates and verifying wills–are housed in the same building. While estate matters are usually handled without formal litigation, some cases may proceed before the Orphans’ Court division, particularly if there is a contested will, questions of guardianship, or disputes over fiduciary conduct.
