A personal representative for an estate in Allegheny County may be bonded under Pennsylvania law unless the will waives it. The amount is set to cover the value of the personal estate. |
| Court History |
The Register of Wills is Pennsylvania's probate office, and together with the Orphans' Court Division it administers estates for Allegheny County. In Pittsburgh, Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas serves Allegheny County for estate and probate administration. Case information for Allegheny County is generally confirmed directly with the court rather than through an online docket search. |
| Additional Information |
Some Allegheny County estates cannot close until missing or unknown heirs are located and notified. If that applies to your case, we can refer you to licensed investigators across the country who specialize in heir searches. When you are ready for the bond itself, we issue executor, administrator, guardianship, and conservator bonds for Pennsylvania, often the same day. Apply online to begin. |
