Wills, Trusts, & Estate Planning

Unfortunately, all of us face the inevitable.  While we have worked and sacrificed our whole lives to accumulate wealth for the benefit of ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren, if certain precautions are not taken during our lifetime, a great deal of the wealth we’ve spent our lives earning can end up in the hands of unintended beneficiaries and the government through Pennsylvania Inheritance tax and the Federal Estate tax.


The law provides for a vast array of legal tools to position your assets to most effectively reduce estate and inheritance taxes, probates costs, and administration costs that include wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, life insurance, irrevocable life insurance trusts, power of attorneys, joint accounts, gifts, healthcare directives, and living wills. While everybody’s situation is unique, the Law Offices of Benjamin F. Goodwin, Esquire will work hard to tailor make a plan for you and your loved one’s particular needs.  


Likewise, when you’ve been chosen by a loved one to administer their estate, questions concerning who gets what and when, can be very confusing, especially during a time of grief, and can lead to personal liability on the part of the estate's administrator. At the Law Offices of Benjamin F. Goodwin, Esquire, we treat the personal representative and the surviving beneficiaries with the dignity and respect they deserve during their difficult time.


At the Law Offices of Benjamin F. Goodwin, Esquire, we believe that what a person leaves behind is for their loved ones, and not for lawyers and the government. So, whether you are planning for the future or administering a loved one’s estate, trust my firm to properly advise you.  Call us today at (724) 438-1616 or (724) 966-9090 for a free consultation.
