Probate Attorney Serving Warminster

Warminster Township is one of Bucks County's largest communities, with approximately 33,000 residents in a suburban landscape bordered by Ivyland, Hatboro, and Upper Southampton. Like all Bucks County municipalities, Warminster estates are administered through the Register of Wills in Doylestown, about 20 minutes north on Route 263.

Probate Services for Warminster Families

When a Warminster resident passes away, the executor or next of kin faces a series of legal deadlines. The will must be filed with the Register of Wills, estate notices published in newspapers, beneficiaries and heirs formally notified, and a Pennsylvania inheritance tax return (REV-1500) filed within nine months of the date of death. Missing any of these deadlines can result in penalties, interest, or personal liability for the executor — which is why most Warminster executors retain an attorney to guide them through the process.

We provide complete estate administration for Warminster families, from opening the estate at the Register of Wills through final distribution. This includes advising executors on their fiduciary duties, marshaling assets, resolving creditor claims, preparing and filing the inheritance tax return, and preparing the formal or informal accounting required before the estate can be closed.

Warminster Estate Situations We Handle

Warminster estates frequently involve a mix of residential real estate, retirement accounts, and personal property. We work with executors on selling inherited homes, handling IRAs and 401(k)s with beneficiary designation issues, navigating intestacy when there's no will, and resolving family disputes over estate distribution before they escalate to Orphans' Court litigation.
