Estate Planning


There are times when you need to draft a simple Will or have your Will revised. Other times you may face the complex tax problems associated with minimizing the tax bite that accompanies larger estates or retirement planning. Perhaps you seek advice on your entitlement to government benefits, such as Medicaid. Whatever your question or concern, Matthew J. Heagen has the extra education and experience to provide the legal advice and prepare the documents necessary to address your needs. Mr. Heagen completed the requirements necessary to obtain an Estate Planning Certificate from the Temple University Law School.

Additionally, the Law Office has the experience to handle all aspects of probating an estate. After an individual passes, it is necessary for the family or friends to enforce the Will. This process can include marshalling all assets, determining the value of the assets, bringing or defending a Will contest, preparation and filing of the appropriate tax returns and distributing the assets of the estate to the designated beneficiaries. The law office can assist in all of these steps.
