A Probate Attorney is retained using estate funds to guide the Executor or Administrator through the estate administration process. Effective probate attorneys base their workloads and fees on the circumstances of each estate. Our Guide to Pennsylvania Probate Attorney Fees can help you learn what a Probate Attorney in Pennsylvania can charge.
Serving as Executor or Administrator of a Pennsylvania estate is a time-consuming and challenging task. A person taking on this responsibility and commitment deserves compensation. However, since relatively few of us ever serve in this capacity, it’s sometimes confusing to guess whether that compensation is fair or excessive. Our team has compiled The Guide to Pennsylvania Executor’s Fees for Pennsylvania residents, designed to help you avoid mistakes that can put you at odds with creditors or heirs.
A person serving as a trustee is responsible for the proper maintenance of the fund and-often-the well-being of beneficiaries. Is the fee a trustee can charge based on a percentage of the trust fund? Are corporate trustees allowed to charge more than regular people? Our Guide to Pennsylvania Trustee Fees examines how to determine the right compensation structure.
An Agent typically has access to the principal’s entire financial portfolio. When another person has control of your financial assets, how can you ensure they are appropriately compensated? Just because someone is authorized to use your accounts, does not mean they should enjoy free rein. Our Guide to Agent and Power of Attorney Fees in Pennsylvania reviews appropriate Agent compensation.
Guardianships come in many different varieties. Whether overseeing a minor or an incapacitated person, one thread binds the spectrum of scenarios: responsibility and commitment to the incapacitated person. Persons who assume this critical task deserve compensation, but how much? Our Guide to Pennsylvania Guardianship Fees reveals today’s best practices.

Peters' firm has prepared and updated our Wills and Trusts for the last 15 to 20 years. They know the law and help with your decision making to use the law to your best advantage. Response time to your requests is very reasonable, and final reviews and signing is executed in a timely manor with a thorough coverage of the documents. Our most recent updates to our Wills & Trusts were somewhat complicated, in our opinion, but Peter and his staff handled them effortlessly. As you can tell from this review Peter Klenk's firm is top notch.
We were extremely pleased with the work done by Peter Klenk and members of the staff at Klenk Law. They were very thorough and did the work in a timely fashion. Peter's explanations of the legal system were very clear and helpful. I highly recommend this firm and Peter.
Jackie is amazing! I have asked her many questions and she answers them professionally and honestly. She is very informative !!!
I can't tell you how satisfied I am with this law firm. They were competent and helped me with a very difficult situation. They got the job done in a timely fashion and I am so happy I found them. If you find yourself in a difficult and contentious probate situation I highly recommend this firm. There is just no way I could have had this positive outcome without them. I worked with 2 different lawyers prior to hiring them and neither of them could get the job done like Klenk. Daniella Horn was a pleasure to work with and highly competent.
I worked with Daniella to settle my father’s estate. She was kind, efficient, knowledgeable, and made the entire process seamless. I highly recommend working with Daniella.
