Guiding Families Through Every Step of Estate Settlement

At Loviscky & Cressman, we understand that the loss of a loved one is an emotional and overwhelming time. Our experienced attorneys are here to provide compassionate, comprehensive estate administration services—helping executors, administrators, and beneficiaries navigate the complexities of Pennsylvania’s probate and estate laws.


What Is Estate Administration? 

Estate administration is the legal process of settling a person’s financial and legal affairs after they pass away. Whether or not the deceased had a will, this process can be time-consuming and complicated without knowledgeable guidance. Our role is to make that process as smooth, efficient, and stress-free as possible.

Our Estate Administration Services Include:

  • Fiduciary Representation 
    We represent executors, administrators, and trustees in fulfilling their legal and financial duties, ensuring compliance and reducing personal liability.
  • Estate Administration
    We guide families through probate and non-probate estate settlement, from asset gathering to final distribution.
  • Trust Administration
