Guardianship
A common misperception of many is that an incapacitated individualâ€™s next of kin (such as the parent of a child or the children of an elderly person suffering from dementia or Alzheimerâ€™s disease) will automatically become that personâ€™s legal guardian. To the contrary, a guardian can only be appointed following a formal guardianship proceeding before the court.

Assault
Forgery
While these are often emotional and very personal matters, contesting a Will is a legal matter.Â Basically, challenges can be made on three bases:Â that the Decedent â€œlacked capacityâ€ at the time his or her Will was drafted; that the document in question was a result of â€œundue influenceâ€ or â€œcoercionâ€ ; or that the signature on document is a fraud or forgery.

Business and Corporate Law

Business Formation
Attorney Piciacchio received his undergraduate degree from Penn State and his law degree from Duquesne University School of Law.Â He has been practicing law since 1983 with a focus on Wills, Estate Planning and Probate Estate Administration.Â Additionally, he practices in the areas of civil litigation, business formation and consultation, and contract law and has over twenty years experience with major corporations.Â When not working, Lou is likely to be found hunting, fishing or golfing.

Real Estate Litigation
A large portionâ€”and valueâ€”of the many Estates that we administer each year are grounded firmly in the Real Estate holdings of the Decedent. Â Such holdings can consist of not only of residential properties, but also commercial properties, secondary vacation homes and business properties as well. All such real estate holdings come into play and need to be considered when formulating and putting together an appropriate estate plan.Â As such, Estate Planning, Probate Estate Administration and Real Estate Law often need to work â€œhand in hand.â€
Real Estate Transactions
Because the primary focus of our law firmâ€™s practice is estate planning and probate estate administration, we can provide a unique advantage to our clients when it comes to real estate sales and transfers.Â We are able to provide all of the traditional services associated with either the sale or purchase of a property, i.e. sales agreements, deed preparation, mortgages, notes, title searches and insurance, etc.).

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Whether you need our legal services to assist you in the probate estate administration of a loved one’s estate or to help you create and craft an estate plan that best protects and serves your family’s specific, individual needs, you’ll be dealing with trusted and experienced attorneys who have been assisting clients throughout Western Pennsylvania with competency, compassion and care for over 25 years.
Wills
As difficult as the subject may be, sometimes questions arise as to the validity, or lack thereof, of an individualâ€™s Last Will and Testament. Â A Will Contest or Challenge is a legal proceeding in which arguments are made concerning the enforceability of a Last Will and Testament of someone who has died (the Decedent).Â This is an estate dispute that is heard by and argued before the Pennsylvania Orphansâ€™ Court.
Trusts
A Revocable Living Trust, also often called a Family Trust, an Inter Vivos Trust, a Grantor Trust or simply a Living Trust, is a legal instrument that is created to hold title to your real property and other assets. Once created, you must â€œfundâ€ it by transferring the ownership of your assets and holdings to the trust. If properly funded, a Revocable Living Trust can be an effective means of passing your assets on to your children or heirs without subjecting them to probate. However, the proper funding of the trust means everything and should be overseen by a competent legal professional.
Power of Attorney
The person(s) that you select as your â€œAgentâ€ under a Durable Power of Attorney will be responsible for taking over the day in and day out management of both your personal and financialÂ affairs.Â Among other things, the person(s) that you select as you â€œAgentâ€ will have the power to make both medical and financial decisions on your behalf, sell you property, make gifts on your behalf, borrow money, file your taxes and much, much more.Â Clearly, your â€œAgentâ€ needs to be a very responsible, trustworthy individual who will always act with the aim of protecting your best interests.
Probate

Tax Law
Proper estate planning should address not only what happens to a clientâ€™s assets after his or her death, but also how to best provide for that personâ€™s future needs and physical well being during his or her lifetime. Many people believe that estate planning consists of nothing more than making a simple Will. Obviously, a properly implemented estate plan can entail much more than that. Estate planning may involve not only financial and tax planning, but also medical and business planning. While a Will is certainly an important component of an estate plan, other documents should also be considered and discussed. These may include a Durable Financial Power of Attorney, a Durable Health Care Power of Attorney, a Revocable Living Trust, a Living Will, or even a Special Needs Trust.
