Coronavirus (COVID-19) update

For the foreseeable future the Register of Wills and Orphans’ Court will be closed to the public making it more important than ever to seek the help of a trusted professional. When a loved one passes, the Law Office of Stephen E. Bailey can assist you with the administration of the estate (probate process). All of our work can be done by telephone, by mail (USPS), and by email enabling you to stay safe and carry out all of the duties of estate administration.

Now, is the time to review your estate plan (Last Will and Testament, Financial Power of Attorney, Advance Health Directive, and Life Estate Deeds). With travel restrictions and safety concerns you may re-evaluate who you have appointed to serve as your Personal Representative or Executor. Stock market volatility and changes to the rules concerning IRA beneficiaries may have rendered your existing plan obsolete? A timely review and minor changes today may save your family untold headaches and thousands of dollars.

Why wait for government offices to reopen before you apply for important government benefits like Medicaid (nursing home/long-term care) and Veterans benefits (VA Aid and Attendance). We will help you protect your home and financial accounts and receive the benefits to which you are entitled.

Our expertise, assistance, and guidance can be provided over the phone, by mail, email and video conference call. You deserve an experienced guide to help you navigate uncharted waters.
