Attorney Glen Ridenour Wins Yet Another Appeal from Orphans’ Court

Posted on Fri Jun 28, 2024, on Orphans' Court Appeals

Orphans’ Court Appeal Attorney Glen Ridenour won another one!

Orphans Court Appeal Attorney

Appeals Lawyer, Glen Ridenour

Glen Ridenour has earned an excellent reputation as the person to turn to for your Orphans’ Court Appeal.

This time, In Re: Estate of Thomas P. Cassidy, the Superior ruled in Glen’s favor.  

Background: The grandchildren of the testator’s ex-wife filed a petition for declaratory judgment to interpret the testator’s will. Co-executrices of the testator’s estate filed a cross-petition for declaratory judgment to interpret the testator’s will. The Court of Common Pleas, Bucks County, entered an order denying the grandchildren’s petition, granted the co-executrices’ petition, and subsequently denied the Granchildrens’ motion for consideration. 

Holding: The Superior Court found (1) admission of testimony from the testator’s attorney to aid in interpreting the testator’s will was proper, but (2) the determination that the attorney was unable to logically explain the meaning of the distribution scheme in the testators will wasn’t supported by the record.  Reversed and remanded with instructions.

      I have worked with three different attorneys and law firms over the years, and I can confidently say that attorney Peter Klenk stands out as the most knowledgeable. He created the most thorough wills and trust documents I've ever had. Mr. Klenk took the time to gather all the necessary details about my current situation and goals. As a result, he put together comprehensive documents that I believe will effectively protect my assets and ensure my children's inheritance is secure.
      What truly sets Mr. Klenk apart is his patience and dedication to understanding my questions. He provided detailed explanations that made complex legal concepts much easier to grasp. His team's communication and scheduling were equally impressive, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.
      Thank you, Mr. Klenk, and your fantastic team, for your exceptional service!

      Very friendly and easy to work with - definitely a better experience than I've had with other lawyers! Peter is very detailed and thorough. I've worked on previous versions of my will with other lawyers, and he pointed out things they'd never mentioned. Fast turnaround and very responsive to emails and phone calls.
