Estate Planning & Administration Attorneys

Planning for the future is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your family, your assets, and your legacy. At Cramer, Swetz, McManus, Jordan & Saylor, P.C., our attorneys provide comprehensive estate planning, elder law, and estate administration services to individuals and families throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania. Whether you are preparing for long-term care, drafting a will, or administering a loved one’s estate, we offer experienced guidance every step of the way.

Elder Law & Medicaid Planning

Long-term care planning and Medicaid eligibility rules can be confusing and overwhelming. Our attorneys assist clients and their families with asset protection strategies and Medicaid planning to help preserve assets while preparing for nursing home or long-term care needs. Early planning can make a significant difference in protecting your financial security.

Comprehensive Estate Planning

Estate planning ensures your wishes are carried out, and your loved ones are protected in the event of death or incapacity. We draft customized estate planning documents tailored to your unique needs, including:

Wills & Trusts

From simple wills to complex trusts and business succession plans, we help you direct how your assets will be managed and distributed. For parents of minor children, wills also allow you to appoint a guardian—avoiding court intervention during an already difficult time.

Powers of Attorney

A durable power of attorney allows you to appoint a trusted person to manage your financial affairs if you become unable to do so.

Living Wills & Advance Healthcare Directives

These documents ensure your medical wishes are honored if you are incapacitated and unable to communicate your decisions.

Proper estate planning provides peace of mind and prevents unnecessary legal complications for your family.

Incapacity & Guardianship

When a loved one becomes incapacitated without proper planning in place, difficult legal issues can arise. Whether due to sudden illness, injury, or a young adult who has reached majority but lacks capacity, we help families understand their legal options, including guardianship proceedings, and determine the best course of action.

Estate, Probate & Trust Administration

After the loss of a loved one, navigating probate and trust administration can be complex. Our firm represents executors, administrators, trustees, and corporate fiduciaries in:

• Probate proceedings
• Asset collection and distribution
• Estate and trust accounting
• Estate and inheritance tax compliance
• Filing required tax returns
• Will contests and/or orphans’ court appeals

We work to ensure estates and trusts are administered efficiently and in full compliance with Pennsylvania law while minimizing stress for families.

Protect your family, your assets, and your future with experienced legal guidance.
