Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Pennsylvania

Re: Notifying Benificeries

There is no specific time, however, an executor should take the original will to the Register of Wills within a reasonable time after death (about 30 days). If the Will is accepted, there are specific forms on which beneficiaries must be notified and certified to the Register of Wills that they have been notified. If inheritance taxes are paid within 90 days of death, there is a discount. If not paid within 9 months, interests will be assessed. There is much much more involved with the administration of Estates.Estates can be very complicated and if the executor named in the Will does not perform his/her job correctly, they could be sued by the heirs or creditors of the decedent.

I suggest that you contact the attorney in our firm who handles most of our estate work to discuss the details of your case. His name is Samuel Rossitto and can be reached at 215.242.3830. Mention that you received his name from Law Guru and you will recieve a free phone consutation
