Managing The Probate Process For Out-Of-State Families

When a loved one passes away in Pennsylvania and you live elsewhere, it can be intimidating to consider the time, effort and emotions necessary to effectively administer their estate. Probate for out-of-state families can add an additional layer of stress onto an already challenging process.

I am attorney James S. Vergotz. I can guide you and your family during this time to ensure the efficient administration of your loved one’s estate through Pennsylvania’s probate courts. With licenses in Pennsylvania and Florida, I am uniquely positioned to manage out-of-state probate cases.

Prioritizing Your Time And Convenience

With four decades of experience in estate planning and probate law, I realize how common it is for a parent to pass away with children in other states. When this occurs, I prioritize your time and convenience throughout the probate and estate administration process. To make matters simpler for you, I can:

• Meet with you in person immediately in town
• Manage the probate process in Pennsylvania while you are out of state
• Work with you remotely, communicating over the phone or online

While probate can be challenging by nature, technology enables me to work with you through every step of the process. I understand that your schedule might not allow for continual or extended trips to Pennsylvania throughout the duration of the probate process. I will work to minimize or even entirely eliminate your trips to the area using technology and maximize the time that you can spend here.

Assistance For Estates With Property In Multiple States

When individuals die with property in more than one state, it can be challenging to distribute such property in multiple states. With law licenses in Pennsylvania and Florida, this allows me to effectively work on the probate and estate administration cases with property in both states.

I can also assist in cases where Pennsylvania residents have property in other states. With access to resources across multiple states, I can assist in finding you the help you need to resolve your family member’s probate process across state lines.
