About Doylestown, PA
Doylestown, Pennsylvania, is a 2.16 square mile borough located in Bucks County, about 35 miles north of Center City in Philadelphia and about 80 miles southwest of New York City. Originally incorporated in 1838, Doylestown is now the county seat of Bucks County, after experiencing a substantial housing boom during the 1950s, after World War II. The Doylestown economy suffered during the 1960s with the advent of the large shopping mall but was revitalized again in the 1990s by a booming tourist business. Today, Doylestown attracts tourists from Philadelphia, New York, and nearby suburbs, many of whom are drawn by its museums, art deco theater, and vibrant nightlife.
Frequently Asked Questions About Estate Planning Administration & Litigation
Several theories for contesting a will exist, the most common of which include claims that the will was a forgery or was improperly executed, that fraud was committed, that the decedent lacked testamentary capacity to execute or modify the will, or that a third party exerted undue influence over the deceased. For a will contest to succeed, the person contesting the will has to have a valid reason that could stand up in court. In many cases, will contests occur when a deceased person’s loved ones are surprised by the terms of the will. At Rubin, Glickman, Steinberg & Gifford, P.C., we work with our long-term clients to prevent will contests by providing comprehensive documentation and help support our clients as they discuss these difficult issues with their loved ones.
Although our attorneys strive to save our clients the time and expense of the probate process, we are here to help clients who are navigating the probate process. We can help handle all of the probate details to minimize the time and expense probate typically requires, including by filing all relevant documentation, inventorying assets subject to probate, filing tax returns, settling problems with creditors, liquidating assets and more.
