Protecting Your Finances After a Loved One's Death
Most people are unaware of the fact that there are federal and state taxes levied on an estate when a person passes away. All estates in Pennsylvania are subject to inheritance taxes, regardless of the value of the estate. Because the tax rate is determined based on your relationship with the deceased person, it is important to work with experienced Pennsylvania inheritance tax attorneys who can help you protect your financial rights during probate.
At David K. Lucas & Associates, we have more than 40 years of combined experience working with individuals whose loved ones' estates are going through probate. Because the laws vary from one county to the next, it is important to work with a firm that has experience handling the substantive and procedural laws regarding probate. We have handled thousands of probate and inheritance tax matters in this part of Pennsylvania, and we can help protect your financial rights throughout the process.

After a person dies, it is important to make sure the tax return is filed in a timely manner. If the claim is filed late, there is a penalty, and interest is levied against the estate. We can help make sure the claim is filed within the appropriate time limits, helping to lessen the tax burden and avoid penalties and interest.
When we work with individuals, we prepare and file all the tax returns. We keep track of all the income, assets and expenses related to the estate, working to make the preparation of the tax return quick and easy. In many situations, we are able to complete this work fast enough to help our clients take advantage of discounts awarded when the tax returns are filed within 90 days.
