At Emeritus, PA we understand that your assets are a representation of sweat equity, diligent planning, and years of quality decision making. Emeritus, PA applies these same elements in designing plans that are specifically aimed at meeting your unique needs and assists you in protecting that future that you envision for those closest to you. Whether you require a simple will, a complex trust, or the probating of an estate of a loved one, our law office may provide the options necessary to accomplish your desires.  We treat even the smallest estate as though it were our own.

WILLS
It is always difficult to think about what will happen to the people you love if you should pass away.  However, it is very important to have a plan for how your property and assets will be passed after your death.  A will provides a roadmap for the distribution of your assets and completion of your final wishes.  Our goal is to assist you in developing that plan in an efficient and cost effective manner. 

TRUSTS
A trust gives you freedom to make choices both during and after your lifetime as to how your assets are held, taxed and distributed. Trusts may be simple or complex in nature depending on its purpose.  Individuals generally use trusts to provide a valuable planning tool for asset protection.   Our team of professionals will help guide you through the complex maze of trust law to help you determine how best to protect what you have built over a lifetime.  We can also assist you in facilitating the wishes you have for your loved ones that cannot be accomplished through traditional wills or estate planning.

PROBATE
Probate arises during one of life's most difficult periods - the death of a loved one.  It is a process created by law to transfer assets from a decedent into his or her beneficiaries' names.  This court-supervised process ensures that creditors, taxes, and all expenses of the decedent are paid from their estate.  A well-planned estate will provide the necessary roadmap and appropriate guidance for distribution of your assets in accordance with your wishes.  An attorney is integral in facilitating the timely and accurate completion of this process.
