Description
This book is a reference for the probate attorney, but also a practical guide for others, such as personal representatives and trust officers, who want a better understanding of their duties and role in probate procedures. In addition to such standard probate matters as transfer of assets, creditors' claims and distribution of gifts, it includes sections on related topics, such as disposition of decedent's remains, missing persons, ancillary administration and the difficulties arising from the confidential relationship. The work also includes 2000 amendments to the Pennsylvania inheritance tax, as well as numerous forms.
