Our clients often ask us this, and we have a question we like to ask back: does the will you have in place reflect your current needs? A will evolves and changes over your lifetime. You wrote your existing will to address your then-current situation. Has it changed? A few more questions an attorney from our will law firm in Philadelphia may have you ask yourself include:
All of these are reasons that you may need to start a new will. Changes in relationships, finance, and heirs all require a will review. A will lawyer Allentown, PA residents trust can help you as you draft a new will, if needed.
When it comes to creating a new will, there are a few situations where it will benefit you more to create a new will rather than keeping your current will.
You Have a Baby. Especially when you have minor children in your family, it is time to start considering naming guardians for your children. Picking a trustworthy Guardian ensures that you and your spouse know and trust the person or people who will take care of your children if you were both to pass away at the same time.
You Change Your Mind. Simply stated, many people change their minds when it comes to who they want to inherit different property or what portion of property someone should get. If you are having second thoughts and would like to make a change, it is best to start from scratch with help from an attorney at our will law firm in PA.
When you have questions about starting your will from scratch after already having one, come to the knowledgeable and trusted attorneys from Klenk Law, your local Philadelphia will law firm, to see how we can help.

I have had Peter Klenk prepare and revise my will. Always professional, knowledgeable and offers great advice. Highly recommend
Peter provided outstanding advice and preparation of a will and trusts.
I'm totally satisfied with Klenk Law. Peter has a great legal mind with the personality of the guy next door.
I was referred to Peter after my divorce to put documents together to protect my assets. He suggested a number of documents that would help protect my children and their future. Also, he put together wills, power of attorney and living wills. I initially spoke with him on the phone, he took 30-40 minutes to understand my situation and explain the benefits of having such documents. After a week or two, I met with him in his office and signed the documents. Everything else was remote phone calls and emails. He re-explained these documents and what whom to share. I am in good hands.
I contacted Peter through his website using the free consultation link for a question regarding a will. While I was expecting only a few minutes, it was a lengthy conversation. He made sure he understood the situation by asking many questions before offering advice. He then went through my options and results of each one. He left it up to me to decide if I wanted to proceed and did not push me toward one or another. His website has very useful information which I definitely researched before I called him. While I decided not to proceed at this time, I feel I had enough information to make that decision. I would not hesitate to hire him should I need to in the future.
