Specializing in Wills and Estates
Serving the Legal Needs of Individuals and the Business, Comercial and Maritime Communities
Mattioni, Ltd. is a Pennsylvania professional corporation engaged in the practice of law. Our home office is situated in Old City Philadelphia, between the Delaware River and Independence Hall. From this location, and our office across the River in New Jersey, we serve the varied needs of clients throughout the region and beyond.
Philadelphia, once the capital of the United States, has grown and developed from its colonial underpinnings into one of the pre-eminent modern cities in the country, while still maintaining its historical charm. This transformation is evident from the skyline itself, which reveals the statue of William Penn poised atop the tower of city hall, historically the tallest building in the city, now dwarfed by the profile of sleek architectural additions.
Our firm, like the city, has grown since its inception and is a blend of old and new. Our values are traditional, but we have embraced the emerging technologies to provide our clients with more efficient and effective service. We continue to recognize the basic value of being a good listener, an independent thinker, and a creative problem solver. While the tools available to provide legal services have improved over the years, we believe that the fundamentals have remained the same and we embrace them.
We invite you to browse through our website to learn about our firm and the services we provide. If you would like more information or have specific questions, please call, email, or visit us.

ESTATE PLANNING, TRUSTS, AND ESTATE ADMINISTRATION
Our Estate Group counsels families, individuals and business owners in the development and implementation of estate plans tailored to meet their specific needs and goals. Our attorneys provide insight and practical advice regarding the range of issues surrounding the preservation and transfer of assets during life and upon death. As part of our estate planning practice, we assist clients in planning for the disposition of assets in a tax advantaged manner and planning for the succession or sale of a family business. We recognize that each client's circumstances are unique and that personal, as well as financial factors, must be thoroughly evaluated in order to effectively prepare estate planning documents such as wills, trust agreements, durable powers of attorney and health care directives.
Our estate attorneys regularly counsel and assist personal representatives in the administration of estates and trusts. We provide guidance to clients throughout the entire probate process, including securing the appointment of an executor, marshaling the assets of an estate, ensuring that the decedent's lawful debts, including all taxes resulting from death, are paid, and then facilitating distribution to those who are entitled to receive the estate. Our attorneys are experienced with and regularly practice before the courts in New Jersey and Pennsylvania involving disputes with respect to wills, administration of estates and trusts and related disputes.
The Estate Group works together with the Business Group to ensure that succession plans and other transfers of business assets are handled in an appropriate manner.
