Attorney William Price has been practicing law for 38 years, and one element of the Price & Associates service that clients consistently note is that he makes house calls. For elderly clients, clients with mobility limitations, or families dealing with end-of-life planning during illness, the ability to have an attorney come to them is not a convenience; it is what makes legal representation accessible.

Practice Areas

Estate Planning

Estate planning is the firm’s primary service area. Attorney Price helps clients develop estate plans appropriate to their specific circumstances, including the nature and value of their assets, family structure, and personal wishes regarding asset distribution. A complete estate plan typically includes a will, a durable power of attorney, and a health care directive or living will.

The firm’s position on estate planning is that it is not an activity reserved for the wealthy or the elderly, but a set of legal decisions that every adult should address. Without a will, assets pass according to Pennsylvania’s intestacy laws, which may not align with the deceased person’s wishes.

Wills

The firm prepares wills that designate beneficiaries, name executors who will administer the estate, address the distribution of specific items of personal property, and where applicable, name guardians for minor children. Attorney Price reviews the specific situation of each client to ensure the will reflects their actual intentions.

Power of Attorney

A durable power of attorney is a legal document that authorizes a named person to manage financial and legal matters on behalf of the principal if the principal becomes incapacitated. Without a durable power of attorney in place, a family may have to seek a court-ordered guardianship to manage the affairs of an incapacitated family member, a process that is slower, more expensive, and more intrusive than a private power of attorney arrangement.

Estate Probate and Settlement

After a person dies, their estate typically goes through the probate process, during which the will is validated, debts are paid, and assets are distributed. The firm guides executors and family members through the probate process in Allegheny County and assists with the administration and settlement of estates.

Trusts

For clients who want to avoid probate, provide for ongoing management of assets for beneficiaries, or protect assets from creditor claims or divorce proceedings in future generations, the firm prepares trusts as part of a comprehensive estate plan.
