Estate Planning

We strive to first and foremost educate our clients on what comprises a complete estate plan, how the documents function and what purposes they serve.

Our attorneys have experience in orphans’ court litigation and are familiar with the ways estate planning can go wrong and will help troubleshoot any potential issues.
We handle the vast majority of our estate planning matters on a flat fee basis so you know exactly what your ultimate cost will be. With your cooperation we can often wrap up the entire process in just a few weeks, though it may depend on the complexity of your case.

Lean on our experienced estate attorneys to help walk you through the process with ease. We will prepare all of the court filings necessary to administer an estate in Pennsylvania and assist you in navigating the entire process. The attorneys at BOK Law & Mediation Services will be a resource for you and can answer any and all questions you may have.
