A Step-by-Step Look at Probate in Pennsylvania

When someone passes away, their estate typically goes through one of two processes: probate or trust administration. These options appeal to different people for different reasons—and misinformation is common—so we receive many questions, especially on probate. Join Jeff as he explains the process of probate administration in Pennsylvania. It's important to understand whether you're an executor, a beneficiary, or someone planning for their family's future.     WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW (00:00) Episode introduction. (03:15) Probate is the legal process for distributing assets that are not jointly owned or attached to a beneficiary. (04:33) Powers of attorney become invalid at the time of death.   (05:54) In Pennsylvania (PA), probate and trust administration are very similar. For probate, an executor is sworn in.  (06:37) To be sworn in, the personal representative provides their law firm (or the Register of Wills) with the death certificate and the original will.  (07:56) The executor is liable for ensuring that probate is handled correctly, so many people use a law firm. (09:09) The law firm provides notices to heirs and creditors and determines date-of-death values for all assets.  (10:17) Making a tax prepayment within three months after death results in a 5% discount on the inheritance taxes owed. The inheritance tax return must be filed within nine months of death, but an extension, with interest, is possible.  (12:27) A partial distribution can be made. Final distributions require the signing of receipts and releases.   (14:46) A fiduciary return must be filed if there were gains in an estate account. (18:15) Most institutions will not allow testamentary trusts under a will. (18:45) You are not required to hire an attorney for probate, but an attorney can shoulder the work and risk for you.  (23:09) An executor is entitled to an executor's commission.   LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED Bellomo & Associates workshops:https://bellomoassociates.com/workshops/ Life Care Planning The Three Secrets of Estate Planning Nuts & Bolts of Medicaid For more information, call us at (717) 845-5390.

You've probably heard the saying, “A man who represents himself in court has a fool for a client.” While most of us wouldn't go to court alone, the rise of do-it-yourself legal tool kits makes it tempting to go without professional guidance when creating an estate plan. But it's important to understand that off-the-shelf home remedies can expose your assets to unnecessary risk and jeopardize your family's financial future. From emotional blind spots to technical errors, even the smartest people can make costly mistakes without proper legal help. So, before you get carried away with DIY enthusiasm, tune in to learn the hidden costs and common pitfalls of do-it-yourself legal tools.    WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW (00:00) Episode introduction. (02:56) When non-professionals use off-the-shelf tools to create a trust, will, power of attorney (PoA), or estate plan, strategic missteps and technical mistakes often go unnoticed until it's too late. (05:18) Estate planning and elder law are highly complex even for attorneys who specialize in these areas. (07:35) Often, basic DIY legal kits don't keep pace with state-specific laws and are not able to address “what if” scenarios such as changes in marital status, unexpected death or disability, protection of government benefits, etc.   (09:21) The use of beneficiaries to avoid probate does not provide protection of assets or safeguard against mishandling of funds and property.  (11:07) Jointly owned assets can have significant tax implications. (12:33) Long-term care eligibility and asset protection are complicated and require thoughtful, expert strategies. (16:43) Powers of attorney should be very specific. Most DIY kits do not contain the appropriate language. (23:23) Can you use a DIY kit and have everything turn out well? Yes, but there are many situations that a DIY kit cannot provide for—and those are the protections that a professionally created plan can anticipate.     ABOUT BELLOMO & ASSOCIATES Jeffrey R.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW$15.7M Revenue in 2024 — Up 27% year-over-year, with a contract backlog now exceeding $55M and growing internationally.CEO Skin in the Game — Peter Pascali has invested $10M+ personallyValidated by the U.S. Navy — PAWDS systems installed on aircraft carriers like the USS Gerald R. Ford, with ongoing orders through 2032.Breakthrough in Fumed Silica — Pilot production confirmed by independent lab; LOI signed with global leader Evonik for further commercial evaluation.Industrial Decarbonization — Plasma torches deliver 45% energy savings and 30% faster meltingPyroGenesis Canada Inc. $PYR / $PYRGF isn't just another small-cap tech hopeful—it's generating real revenue and turning cutting-edge technology into commercial traction across multiple global industries. In 2024, the company reported $15.7 million in revenue, up from $12.3 million the year prior, alongside a growing contract backlog in the $55-60M range. Demand is being driven by signed and awarded contracts across the Middle East, Europe, and Asia, validating that PyroGenesis' plasma-based technologies are gaining momentum in real-world industrial environments.CEO INVESTMENT SIGNALS STRONG CONVICTIONIn a rare show of long-term commitment, CEO Peter Pascali has personally invested more than $10 million into the company, including $2.3 million in the most recent financing round. That conviction is backed by performance, not promotion. PyroGenesis runs an asset-light business model, enabling global scalability without the heavy capital expenditures typical of industrial tech ventures.VALIDATED BY THE U.S. NAVYPyroGenesis' Plasma Arc Waste Destruction System (PAWDS) is already installed aboard U.S. Navy aircraft carriers, including the USS Gerald R. Ford. This is more than a proof of concept—it's defense-grade technology in active operation, giving PyroGenesis rare credibility in the global defense sector.BREAKTHROUGH IN CLEAN FUMED SILICA PRODUCTIONIn clean tech, PyroGenesis has reached a major milestone in the production of fumed silica, an industrial compound used in coatings, batteries, and silicones. Unlike conventional methods, the company's proprietary process significantly reduces energy use, carbon emissions, and production costs. A recent pilot run yielded high-purity fumed silica, independently verified by a third-party lab to contain no unexpected contaminants. Global chemical leader Evonik has signed a Letter of Intent to evaluate the technology for potential commercial collaboration.PLASMA TORCHES DRIVING INDUSTRIAL DECARBONIZATIONPyroGenesis is also making strides in industrial decarbonization. Its plasma torch systems have demonstrated up to 45% energy savings and 30% faster melting times compared to traditional fossil-fuel burners. These performance gains have attracted the attention of firms like Norsk Hydro, which is exploring plasma electrification to reduce emissions in aluminum smelting.A MULTI-LEGGED PLATFORM FOR SCALABLE GROWTHRather than relying on a single innovation, PyroGenesis is building what Pascali describes as a “multi-legged stool”—a diversified, validated portfolio of technologies spanning defense, clean materials, metals processing, and waste-to-energy. With growing revenue, global partnerships, third-party validation, and a management team heavily invested in its success, PyroGenesis stands out as a small-cap company executing at a global level.

Estate Planning Essentials: Why a Will Might Not Be Enough

The Red Wagon Estate Planning & Elder Law Show

Play Episode Listen Later May 15, 2025 29:32


When people think about estate planning, a will is often the first thing that comes to mind. But relying solely on a will might leave significant gaps in your financial plan, potentially putting your loved ones and your hard-earned assets at risk. Join Jeff as he breaks down the critical features of a will and why a will alone might not be enough to protect your assets and your family's future.    WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW (00:00) Episode introduction. (03:20) While a will directs the distribution of assets in your name alone, it does not control assets with joint owners or designated beneficiaries, like insurance policies or jointly held bank accounts.  (07:46) Most financial institutions won't allow a testamentary trust (a trust established within a will) to be named as a beneficiary. This limits your ability to protect those assets after your death.  (09:26) Assets passed outright through a will can be exposed to risks like Medicaid repayment, creditor claims, financial mismanagement, and future spouses via death or divorce.   (11:11) Probate can be costly, with legal fees often ranging from 4-6% of the estate. While you can handle probate without a lawyer, the executor still bears significant personal liability to ensure everything is handled correctly.  (18:12) Relying on beneficiary designations to avoid probate can leave assets unprotected, potentially exposing them to creditors, lawsuits, and financial missteps.  (21:45) Unlike a will, a properly structured trust can help you avoid probate, reduce fees, and provide ongoing asset protection for your heirs.  (24:12) The absence of a will triggers the intestate succession process. State law will determine who receives the estate, or what is left of it. Most often, this is the closest living relative.   ABOUT BELLOMO & ASSOCIATES Jeffrey R.

(05:09) Nearly 80 social workers enrolled in our first boot camp because of the need to better understand the legal issues their clients were facing.  (06:49) The success and popularity of the boot camps made it clear that a multi-professional boot camp was needed. Nurses, nurse practitioners, administrators, CPAs, CFPs, insurance agents, and others can earn six (6) CEUs. (09:00) Participants learn the basics of estate planning and more advanced concepts such as taxation, asset protection, probate v. non-probate, beneficiaries, and much more. Afterward, attendees enjoy a fun networking event, which can be especially worthwhile given the range of professions in attendance.  (10:36) Our take-home binder is a valuable guide that attendees keep among their most frequently used professional resources.

The Camino de Costa Rica with Maytal "Carrot Top" Agasi (BPR #301)

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio, presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we're joined by Maytal Agasi, known on trail as Carrot Top. In this episode, we learn how a road trip in a mid-size SUV with her two brothers sparked Carrot Top's entry into the world of thru-hiking. She shares how she benefitted massively from both solo and group thru-hikes.  We chat about her time on the JMT, Colorado Trail, and PCT, and we take a deeper dive into her most recent trek on the Camino de Costa Rica, covering standout cultural elements, landscape highlights, the incredibly muggy weather, rich wildlife (including venomous snakes and sloths), managing language barriers, unique logistical challenges, and more. A quick note: I made a big time dumb guy mistake. About 30 minutes into the interview, I realized our audio recorder wasn't rolling. The first 36 minutes of the interview have lower audio quality than usual. That portion still offers important context about Maytal's journey into the outdoors, but if it's too distracting, the audio quality improves at the 36-minute mark of the interview. Trigger warning: This interview includes discussion of suicide. If this is a sensitive topic for you, we recommend skipping ahead to the point where the audio improves—again 36 minutes into the interview. We wrap the show with another clue about our super secret special guest for the upcoming live podcast in Austin, what ridiculous outfit we'd hike in forever, the Triple Crown of Colorado stereotypes, and a disturbing story of an international hiker who was detained, deported, and banned from the U.S. on her way to hike the Arizona Trail.
