Legal Services for Indiana, Pennsylvania
Indiana, the county seat of Indiana County, is home to Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP), the Jimmy Stewart Museum, and the historic Indiana County Courthouse downtown. Known as the "Christmas Tree Capital of the World," Indiana anchors a county of close-knit communities — Homer City, Blairsville, Clymer, and the surrounding townships. Ament Law Group serves Indiana and the wider county with estate planning, probate administration, real estate closings, elder law, and business counsel, with the Register of Wills, Recorder of Deeds, and Court of Common Pleas all located in the Indiana County Courthouse on Philadelphia Street.
Indiana's community — from IUP faculty and staff to farm and small-business owners across the county — has a broad range of legal needs. Whether you are planning your estate, settling a loved one's estate, closing on property, or starting a business, our attorneys bring Indiana County–specific knowledge, and we handle much of the work remotely so a trip to Murrysville is rarely necessary.
Estate Planning
We prepare wills, revocable living trusts, durable powers of attorney under 20 Pa.C.S. § 5601, and advance healthcare directives for Indiana County families. Each plan is tailored to the client — guardianship for minor children, protection for blended families, special needs planning, farm and family-business succession, and charitable giving. For owners of farms, rental property, or closely held businesses, we coordinate the estate plan with ownership structures and beneficiary designations so everything works together.
Probate and Estate Administration
When an Indiana County resident passes away, the estate is administered through the Register of Wills at the Indiana County Courthouse. We guide executors and administrators through filing the will, obtaining Short Certificates, notifying creditors, preparing the Pennsylvania inheritance tax return (REV-1500), and making final distributions. For qualifying estates we use Pennsylvania's simplified small estate process, and for estates with farmland, oil and gas interests, or disputes, we provide the experience these matters require. Learn more on our Indiana County probate page.
Real Estate and Business Services
As licensed title agents through Chicago Title and First American, we handle residential, farm, and commercial closings throughout Indiana County — title search through deed recording at the Indiana County Recorder of Deeds. Our business practice serves Indiana's entrepreneurs, agricultural operations, and established companies with entity formation, contracts, commercial leases, and succession planning.
Elder Law and Medicaid Planning
With Indiana Regional Medical Center and several skilled nursing and personal care facilities in the area, many Indiana County families face long-term care decisions. We help protect assets through Medicaid planning — the five-year look-back period, community spouse protections, and both proactive and crisis strategies — and we handle guardianship petitions before the Indiana County Orphans' Court when needed.
