Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Pennsylvania

It is not unusual at all for people to leave their estates to their children, although they are permitted to leave their estates to others, including grandchildren.

If their estates were probated, copies of their wills would have been filed with the Register of Wills in the County where they resided. You may seek a copy from the Register of Wills. If it was very long ago, it may take some time for the wills to be provided.

This response is not legal advice, since I do not have all of the information that would be required, and I do not have a representation agreement with you.

* If the answers to your question confirm that you have a valid issue or worthwhile claim, your next step should almost always be to establish a dialog with a lawyer who can provide specific advice to you. Contact a lawyer in your county or township.

* Another reason for contacting a lawyer is that it is often impossible to give a good answer in the Internet Q&A format without having more information. The unique circumstances of your situation and things that you may not have thought to mention in your question may completely change the answer. If you want to be sure that you have a complete answer to your question and an understanding of what that answer means, establish a connection with a lawyer who practices in the area of your concern.
