Genealogical Research in Bucks County

Genealogical Research in Bucks County

“I am digging into my family history. Much of my family lived in Bucks County, PA. As a probate lawyer, do you have suggestions as to where I would do my Genealogical Research in Bucks County?”

Genealogical Research in Bucks County:

The Bucks County Register of Wills possesses a wealth of data for those interested in genealogical research. When probating a Bucks County will, the Register collects a copy of the person’s death certificate, the person’s original will, an inventory of the person’s probate assets and a copy of the person’s inheritance tax return.

Don’t Just Read the Will, Get the File.

The Bucks county probate file might also include many other family related items. Tax returns, receipts, and lists of assets. Further, there might be lists of children or siblings. All of these documents can provide invaluable family information to a person working on a family tree.

The Archive Research Center is open to the public and you do not need an appointment. The Bucks County Register of Wills and Clerk of the Orphans’ Court have records dating back to 1684, so you can trace your family tree back for hundreds of years and find out what they owned and to whom they gave their money. You might also find out who was the black sheep in the family and got nothing!

      We recently used Peter's firm to update our wills and trusts. We found he and his staff to be well-informed, professional and highly efficient. And equally valuable, Peter explains the law in terms that a layperson can readily understand.

      I saw four lawyers and was told by all of them; I should just forget contesting my mother's will. I knew what happened, but it is very hard to prove undue influence. I contacted the Law Offices of Peter L. Klenk & Associates. Attorney Amanda DiChello took my case. They were very honest and upfront about what would be involved trying to prove what I knew was true. Attorney DiChello may be young but she is extremely knowledgeable and skilled. She listened and understood what I conveyed to her. She knew exactly what information to use and crafted an outstanding interrogatory and many powerful depositions. Attorney DiChello understood the various emotional feelings this case created for my family and me; she was always there for us with a kind and encouraging word. We went to trial. The amount of work which she and her Paralegal did for the trial was incredible. They both knew my case inside and out! Attorney DiChello's powerful interrogative and thinking skills produced a positive outcome. Attorney DiChello did what other seasoned lawyers said was impossible!
