Estate Planning
Report
Since opening my doors for business in 1978, I have steadfastly guided individuals and families of Erie and western Pennsylvania through a variety of estate law processes. Many people assume that estate planning is something done in retirement, but young families can benefit from actions such as establishing guardianship for their children by drafting a will.
The Benefits Of Trusts
Report
Many estate planning tools can protect assets. While a will is a common one for passing assets to loved ones, a trust can also be useful in accomplishing this task or it can be used to supplement a will. Different kinds of trusts perform different tasks, but they generally avoid the cost of probate.
What Is A Special Needs Trust
Report
A disabled person cannot qualify for government assistance if their income or assets exceed certain limits. A special needs trust preserves eligibility for government programs while providing spending money and paying for "extras" to improve the person's quality of life.
At Gregory L. Heidt, Attorney At Law, I have helped many families in Erie and western Pennsylvania create special needs trusts for their loved ones who have physical or mental disabilities.With 40 years of experience in estate law, I can make sure the trust is set up properly to serve the needs and protect family wealth.

Drafting A Thoughtful Will
Report
A thoughtful will fulfills several estate planning goals. Each will is as unique as the needs of the testator and his or her family, but the main goals are to ensure that there is no undue stress put upon family and loved ones and to ensure that the probate process goes smoothly. It can even help provide solace and closure to the family as your final wishes and arrangements are completed.
