Pennsylvania estate planning questions

Do I need a will or a trust in Pennsylvania?

Most Pennsylvania families need a will at minimum. A revocable living trust is added when you want to avoid probate, own real estate in more than one state, have a blended family, or want privacy. A will alone does not avoid probate in Pennsylvania.

How does Pennsylvania inheritance tax work?

Pennsylvania is one of six states that still taxes inheritances. Rates are 0% to a spouse, 4.5% to children and grandchildren, 12% to siblings, and 15% to everyone else. There is no exemption amount — the tax applies from the first dollar — but a 5% discount is available on tax paid within three months of death.

Is my old Pennsylvania power of attorney still valid?

Pennsylvania rewrote its power of attorney statute in 2015. POAs signed before January 1, 2015 are often rejected by banks, brokerages, and care facilities. If your POA pre-dates 2015, it should be updated.

What does a Pennsylvania estate plan cost?
