Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a will or a trust?

A will is sufficient for simple estates. A trust avoids probate, provides more control, and is better for larger estates or complex family situations.

How often should I update my will?

Review every 3-5 years or after major life events (marriage, divorce, children, significant asset changes).

Why does will & trust cost different in Pittsburgh than other cities?

Pittsburgh's costs reflect local labor rates driven by the healthcare-tech-education economy, humid-continental climate conditions that affect materials and scheduling, and moderate permitting requirements. The union-heavy labor market also influences competitive pricing.
