PROBATING AN ESTATE IN PENNSYLVANIA

Regardless of whether your loved one had a will at the time of his or her death, the estate must be probated before assets can transfer to beneficiaries. Because probate follows a loved one’s death, the process is often an emotional one. At Karen Ann Ulmer, P.C., in Bucks County, we aim to make the process as anxiety-free as possible.
