Our Estate Planning Services
Last Will & Testament
A Will is the cornerstone of every estate plan. It specifies how your property is distributed, designates beneficiaries, names an executor, and — critically — appoints a guardian for any minor children.
Financial Power of Attorney
A Durable Financial Power of Attorney authorizes a trusted agent to manage your financial affairs if you become incapacitated, preventing costly court proceedings and protecting your assets.
Medical Power of Attorney & Living Will
Also known as a Health Care Declaration, this document designates a healthcare agent and records your preferences for medical treatment, ensuring your wishes are followed even when you cannot communicate them.
Revocable Trusts
A revocable living trust allows you to retain full control of your assets during your lifetime while providing a seamless transfer to beneficiaries upon your passing — often avoiding the delay and expense of probate.
Irrevocable Trusts
Under appropriate circumstances, an irrevocable trust can be a powerful tool for reducing estate tax exposure, shielding assets from creditors, and preserving wealth for future generations.
Business Succession Planning
If you own or co-own a business, we help you develop a succession plan that ensures continuity, fairly treats all stakeholders, and protects the value you have built over a lifetime of work.
Estate Administration & Probate
When a loved one passes, the legal obligations of an estate can feel overwhelming. McFall Law guides executors and administrators through every step of the process with clarity, efficiency, and sensitivity.
Commence Probate
Filing with the Register of Wills, obtaining Letters Testamentary or of Administration, and notifying all required parties and agencies.
Inventory & Asset Collection
Identifying, collecting, and where appropriate liquidating estate assets — including real property, financial accounts, and business interests.
PA Inheritance Tax Return
Preparing and filing the Pennsylvania Inheritance Tax Return, calculating the tax due, and managing timely payment to minimize penalties and interest.
Creditor Resolution
Publishing required legal notices, reviewing and resolving creditor claims, and addressing any will contests or estate litigation that may arise.
