The Allegheny County Bar Association (ACBA) has made available to Pittsburgh area residents a free copy of the association's "The Truth About Probate and Living Trusts in Pennsylvania" Booklet. You can e-mail us at news@acba.org.
The ACBA produced this booklet to alleviate the confusion about living trusts and probate, and to protect consumers from purchasing a product that might not be right for them.
The booklet answers questions about probate, such as: What is probate? What are the costs of probate? Does probate take a long time? The booklet also answers questions about a living trust, such as: Why am I now hearing so much about living trusts? Do I need a living trust?
If a consumer or organization would like to obtain multiple copies of the booklet, the first copy is free and the additional booklets are $1 each to cover copying expenses. Information about the booklet can also be found on the Allegheny County Bar Association's website at www.acba.org.
