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.

Peter has done our family's trust and estate work since our children were born. He is not only extremely knowledgeable and honest but makes sure that our arrangements remain current with the changing legal landscape. I would give him my highest recommendation as a professional in his field.

His firm recently provided us with new Wills, Power of Attorneys and our instructions regarding major health issues. These documents are important for estate and life planning. Peter and his team are masters in the complexities of Estate Law. We highly recommend Peter and his Associates to provide thoughtful advice and outstanding work on these complex issues of the law. Make sure your estate planning documents are up to date, and Peter can be relied on to do an excellent job. Well done Peter!
Klenk Law is an exceptional practice. Their fine lawyers and staff team up to produce excellent results for their clients. They excel at explaining the often cryptic laws and policies that govern estate planning right down to the complexities of the various "trust" frameworks. Peter himself manages each client together with his great team, and he has a rare quality to be both a walking encyclopedia of planning minutia and also one of the most likable lawyers I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. He is truly generous in intellect and in his personal approach to getting the "big picture" for complex family structures. I trust him implicitly to help me make the right choices for the future. In short, Klenk Law is a gem of a firm.
Like another reviewer, I contacted Peter through his website using the free consultation link, for a question regarding PA inheritance taxes. The question was quite technical and difficult to explain, and the answer was nowhere to be found on the web. Peter grasped precisely what I was asking, and provided a clear, helpful response (with a touch of humor) the very next day.
