With the right legal guidance, however, you can determine how you want your assets to be distributed after you’re gone. This way, your family can honor your wishes and any legal battles over your property will be avoided.Ensure a smooth transition of property and assets with estate planning service in White Oak, PA. Speak with Gaydos, Gaydos & Associates today about your estate.WE CAN HELP WITH EVERY PART OF ESTATE PLANNINGWe at Gaydos, Gaydos & Associates want to make estate planning as easy as possible for you and your loved ones. We can assist with:Preparing wills and trustsDetermining power of attorneySelecting an executor for your estateDefining guardianship or conservatorshipDon’t wait to get your estate in order. Call 412-678-7900 to schedule a consultation to discuss your needs at our White Oak, PA office.DO I NEED A WILL?Should I hire estate planning attorneys to prepare my will?In Pennsylvania, having your last will and testament prepared by experienced attorneys may be the most reasonable investment into your peace of mind. While the Probate, Estates and Fiduciaries Code outlines a plan for how your property should pass when you die without a will, the intestacy statute is silent on a number of critical considerations, including who may serve as guardian of your minor children.The seasoned attorneys at Gaydos, Gaydos & Associates, P.C. recognize the most common pitfalls in estate planning and preparation, and are able to work with you to make certain that your loved ones are provided for according to your own terms.Can I prepare my own will?With respect to last wills, longstanding Pennsylvania law only requires that an instrument be written and signed by the decedent at its end, evidencing a reasonably certain declaration of intent. Although other important considerations exist (e.g. whether the instrument should be “self-proving” with the affidavits of two witnesses), testamentary intent is indispensable and the format is largely immaterial. For example, a valid will may be created on loose leaf paper so long as it shows testamentary intent and is signed at the end.While the requirements for creating a valid will are minimal, the decision to prepare your own estate planning documents is often perilous. The Pennsylvania Superior Court, in a memorandum decision, recently addressed whether a handwritten document, signed and dated by the decedent, should have been admitted to probate. The document, which referred to itself as a will, indicated that it was to supersede all previous wills, and even contained specific bequests for friends and family.In determining whether the document had the requisite testamentary intent, the trial court looked at ambiguities in the document itself, including omissions and potentially missing pages. Even though the decedent had carefully stated her intention to dispose of certain property and revoke prior wills, the court found that the document was more likely handwritten preparatory notes. The Superior Court affirmed the trial court’s findings.While you certainly can prepare your own will it does not mean that you should. Apart from simply having an instrument that is valid for probate purposes, our attorneys can assist you in finding a global solution that addresses your unique needs and concerns. Contact us at (412) 678-7900 to discuss your options and schedule a consultation.

Don’t Go Through a Divorce Without a Divorce AttorneyWE UNDERSTAND FAMILY LAW AT GAYDOS, GAYDOS & ASSOCIATES, P.C. SERVING WHITE OAK, PA, MCKEESPORT, PA, ELIZABETH TOWNSHIP & SURROUNDING AREASAt Gaydos, Gaydos & Associates, P.C., we understand the importance of strategic planning and preparation from the very first meeting. This is why we resolve to make sure our clients are knowledgeable and well-informed as to all potential avenues in their domestic relations cases. We feel it is critical for our clients to have reasonable expectations as to both the financial and emotional costs involved in litigation, as well as their likelihood for success. We take the time to narrow the issues and provide analysis that often saves many headaches down the road. Our team understands that every case is unique, and not everyone will be able to reach a successful settlement outside of the courtroom. At times, litigation is absolutely necessary, and we have represented countless clients in hotly contested custody and divorce litigation throughout Allegheny, Fayette, Westmoreland, and Washington counties. Our courtroom experience extends to matters including, but not limited to: alimony and support issues; UIFSA and URESA matters; divorce, including fault grounds; equitable distribution; custody and relocation; adoption and termination of parental rights hearings; challenges to paternity; and protection from abuse (PFA). We also regularly assist clients with transactional work, including the preparation of pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, qualified domestic relations orders, and custody consent orders. One of our goals is to provide guidance and planning advice for individuals who feel lost and uncertain with what to expect in an often contentious environment. For more information about the family law options that may be at your disposal, please contact our office to schedule a preliminary consultation TODAY at 412-678-7900.SHOULD YOU SIGN A PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT BEFORE YOU GET MARRIED?At Gaydos, Gaydos & Associates, P.C., we also help engaged couples draw up prenuptial agreements. Not sure if you should get a prenup? Here are a few reasons to consider it:50% of all marriages end in divorce. It’s not fun or romantic to think about when you’re getting married, but it’s a good idea to protect yourself financially just in case things aren’t always so blissful.Without a prenup, divorce can be incredibly expensive. It’s not uncommon for people to go into debt while trying to get divorced.If you don’t have a prenup, your divorce proceedings could go on for years.Avoid future issues and put the word “divorce” out of your mind – hopefully forever. Call 412-678-7900 to speak with a family attorney in about drawing up your prenuptial agreement.We service the surrounding Allegheny, Westmoreland, Fayette, Greene, and Washington Counties.

This law firm has completely earned their 5-star ratings, and I’m thrilled we went with them. We had a stepparent adoption where the other parent’s rights were already terminated. Other law firms were telling us a significantly higher retainer “to start, but it will be more,” but Gaydos Law took care of what we needed for a very reasonable amount.

My boyfriend and I were in a bad car accident, and working with Joe and his team was the best choice we could’ve made. He made the entire process easy to understand, and kept excellent communication with us throughout the case. The office knew us by name and it honestly felt like we were working with a good friend. He truly had our best interests at heart and worked hard to reach the best settlement for both of us. We are so grateful for his help during that difficult time!

It is my great fortune to be represented by Gaydos and Gaydos, Associates, P.C. Divorce has been a life-altering event , with every emotion possible. However, I can always count on Attorney Michael to be a steady, even support. Both Michael’s extensive knowledge of Family Law and vast experience with divorce cases, have helped me deal with the highs and lows of property distribution, discovery, and opposition delay. I can attest to the best kind of treatment, to being informed, to having actions explained, and to knowing that my questions will be answered timely. There are no cryptic replies but always, a respectful message, beginning with Dear Lucy and ending with Best regards. When one’s world is changing so dramatically, it is important to know that a knowledgeable group of individuals can help.

As a college student looking at off-campus housing I had many questions about leasing and negotiating pricing. Before the semester I stopped in and was graciously welcomed and spoke to Joe Gaydos and was then referred to another lawyer in the firm who was very knowledgeable about leasing. They were very polite and it was well worth my time.

We could not be more satisfied with the care and consideration given to my parents by Gaydos, Gaydos &Associates. Joseph and his team are true professionals and have always been helpful and attentive, also a shout out to Sherri and Teri, who went out of her way to help us with paperwork when we were in transit. We would go to them first with any legal matter.
