Wexford is a "town" located in north Pittsburgh, PA, USA. However, it lacks many of the typical attributes of a town, including a government of its own. Instead, it refers to the area contained within the U.S. Post Office zip code of 15090, which encompasses parts of the Borough of Franklin Park, the Town of McCandless, Pine Township, and Marshall Township. It is named after County Wexford, Ireland. Home to many upper-middle-class people, Wexford's commercial landscape is dominated by car dealerships and corporate chains, concentrated on the main thoroughfare of the "Wexford Flats", U.S. Route 19. Besides the local high school and a few churches, social activity in Wexford centers around coffee shops and restaurants. It was recently ranked the twenty-eighth best place to live by Money magazine, despite it being essentially a general descriptor of a section of suburban Pittsburgh and not a formal "town". In addition to the many big-box chains, movie theaters, and malls associated with suburbia, it is also home to what is considered to be one of the top high schools in Pennsylvania, North Allegheny Senior High School. and Pine-Richland High School. However Wexford also has many not to be missed icons including Shenot's Farm Market, Eichner's Farm Market, Sir Pizza, Wexford Post Office Deli and Wexford Plaza and its yearly ice sculpture festival.
What is estate planning and probate law?
Estate planning is the process of anticipating and arranging for the disposal of an estate. Estate planning typically attempts to eliminate uncertainties over the administration of a probate and maximize the value of the estate by reducing taxes and other expenses. Estate planning attorneys advise clients on their options for disposition of real and personal property after death, and create any number of necessary documents pertaining to the estate and finances of the client -- including wills and trusts. Estate planning law attorneys also assist clients in setting out their end-of-life health care wishes through living wills and health care powers of attorney.
