What Bridgeville clients ask us about
- Planning for later years. A power of attorney and living will let a trusted person step in if you cannot handle your own affairs.
- Wills and the family home. A will makes clear who receives the house and who will handle the estate.
- Settling an estate. If a parent has died, our probate page lays out each step in order.
- Small business. We help local owners with contracts, setting up an LLC and employment agreements.
Allegheny County offices you may deal with
Allegheny County does not have a separate Register of Wills office. The Wills/Orphans’ Court Division of the Department of Court Records does that work. It is on the first floor of the City-County Building, 414 Grant Street, Pittsburgh. Deeds are recorded with the county’s Department of Real Estate.
Helping an aging parent
Adult children often call us because a parent is starting to need help with bills, banking or medical decisions. The best time to sign a power of attorney is while your parent can still understand and sign it. If that time has passed, other options may be needed. We explain the choices plainly and help the whole family understand the plan. Our article how to get power of attorney in Pennsylvania is a good place to start.
