Carroll Park Estate Planning Lawyer
Protect Your Estate
The purpose of an estate plan is to guarantee that your personal wishes and preferences are carried out if you’re incapacitated or pass away. A complete estate plan typically involves a will, a living will, a trust, and durable power of attorney documents. When you pass away, these legal documents act as directives for the court to follow when appraising and distributing your assets. With successful planning, your family can avoid costly estate taxes and probate court.
Estate planning allows you to dictate:
- How your property and assets will be distributed
- Who will act as guardian of your children or relatives with special needs
- Who handles your finances if you’re incapacitated
- Who has control over your medical care if you’re incapacitated
At Sallen Law, our estate planning lawyer drafts each essential legal document and ensures they are valid per state law. Estate planning can be very difficult for the inexperienced, and the last thing you want is for an error to impact your family.
If you’re ready to begin drafting your estate plan, contact our Carroll Park estate planning attorney at (215) 992-9662.

It was a happy bit of happenstance that I clicked on Rebecca Sallen's website while searching for a lawyer to help get my advanced directives in order. I was encouraged by the progressive support Rebecca was showing on her website in regard to minority groups, which led me to formally reach out to her. Rebecca was very patient with me and my wife when it came to explaining our options and extremely flexible with the hours when we could meet via Zoom. I have three young children under the age of 12, and it was great she allowed us to have meetings later in the day or weekends when it was conducive to her scheduling. Although I do not have an extensive history of interacting with lawyers, I have spent quite some time working with other people in different professions and walks of life. I can say I feel lucky to have found someone as knowledgeable, trustworthy and empathetic as Rebecca Sallen to help manage my most personal affairs.Ezekiel T.
