One-on-one Pennsylvania legal guidance for wills, trusts, powers of attorney, probate, and estate administration—explained clearly and tailored to your family’s needs.
Licensed in Pennsylvania. Office in Swarthmore, Delaware County. Serving families throughout the Philadelphia region.
Whether you are planning for the future or managing a loved one’s affairs after death, the goal is the same: clear documents, sound decisions, and fewer avoidable complications.
Create a practical plan for who receives your property, who handles your affairs, and who may make financial or healthcare decisions when you cannot.
Explore whether a trust fits your goals for property management, family protection, disability planning, privacy, or a more orderly transfer of assets.
Receive step-by-step guidance when a loved one dies, including help understanding authority, deadlines, estate property, creditor issues, and distributions.
Many clients begin with questions rather than a complete plan. The free consultation is designed to identify the type of help you may need, explain the next step, and determine whether Wardlaw Legal is the right fit.
Legal planning can feel overwhelming. The process is intentionally structured so you understand the scope, the documents, and the decisions before moving forward.
Discuss your goals, the basic facts, and the legal service you may need. This initial conversation also allows for a preliminary fit assessment.
Receive a recommended path forward and a clear explanation of the proposed work, fee arrangement, and information needed to begin.
Work directly with counsel through drafting, review, execution, probate, or estate-administration steps appropriate to the engagement.
Wardlaw Legal is led by Cheron Wardlaw, Esq., a Pennsylvania attorney with more than 15 years of legal experience. Clients work directly with the attorney responsible for their matter—not through a layered intake system. As a special needs parent, Attorney Wardlaw also brings personal perspective to planning for disabled children and adults.
The answer depends on your assets, family structure, privacy concerns, disability-planning needs, and how you want property managed during life and after death. A will and a trust perform different functions, and many trust-based plans still include a will. The consultation can help identify which planning path may fit your circumstances.
Yes. Wardlaw Legal assists with Pennsylvania probate and estate administration, including questions about who may act, obtaining authority, identifying estate assets and debts, communicating with interested parties, making distributions, and closing the estate.
You will discuss the general nature of your matter, your goals, and the service you may need. The consultation is an introductory assessment and does not itself create an attorney-client relationship. Representation begins only after any required conflict review and a written engagement agreement.
The fee arrangement depends on the type and scope of the matter. The proposed scope and fee structure will be explained before representation begins so you can make an informed decision.
Wardlaw Legal serves clients in Delaware, Philadelphia, Montgomery, Chester, and Bucks Counties. The office is located in Swarthmore, Delaware County, Pennsylvania.
