Shocking Turns in The Michael Jackson Probate Case

Posted on Nov 21, 2009

If oyu're a Pennsylvania resident, you may feel that the Michael Jackson probate and various cour hearing have nothing relevant for you. However, the contorted case really shows the need for strategic and smart estate planning.

In Pennsylvania, where the probate system is relatively simple and easy to use (many families are able to "opt out" by agreement) there is a temptation to just "do my will and be done with it."

But, the truth is that careful and effective planning takes a little longer and is marginally more expensive but works to save time, protect assets, reduce taxes, and in the end saves your legacy and protects your heirs.

* Note: In Pennsylvania, there are no state recognized specialties in law. Lawyers may not refer to themselves as "experts" or "specialists" in trusts, estates, wills, or other practice areas. When we refer to ourselves as will, probate, estate planning, or trust lawyers, we mean only that we limit our practice to the areas of wills, estates and related matters.

However, in the firm of Unruh, Turner, Burke and Frees, we have many lawyers that practice in many other practice sections such as Real Estate, Taxation, Creditors' Rights, Banking Law, and School and Municipal Law.
