About Us
Estate Planning & Estate Administration
Estate planning is for everyone, regardless of the size of their estate. In fact, passing away without a will or trust in place can create serious family discord and leave the ultimate division of your assets to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's intestacy statute. Fortunately, you can work to minimize potential conflicts and ensure your wishes are met by creating a comprehensive estate plan that protects you and your loved ones.
When you work with Ody & Wilson, in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, you can be confident you have selected a law firm focused on meeting your needs and protecting your best interests. With more than 40 years of experience in estate planning and probate administration, our attorneys know how to help you effectively plan for the future. Careful estate planning often involves more than just writing a simple will. You want to be certain that your family is provided for after your demise, as well as plan for a future in which you may become incapacitated.

Making sure that every detail is properly addressed is therefore of the utmost importance. Retaining the services of an experienced real estate law attorney can help ensure that your transaction reflects your wishes as well as prevent future legal complications.
We have the skill and resources that many people believe can only be found in a large law firm. We provide dedicated assistance with the following real estate matters: Buy/Sell Agreements, Commercial and Residential Real Estate Closings, Title Searches, Title Insurance and Clarification of Title to Real Estate, Commercials and Residential Leases, Oil & Gas Leases, and, Real Estate Disputes Regarding Property Lines, Waterways, and Roads.
Business and Municipal Law
It takes considerable work and a significant amount of careful planning to make your business dreams a reality. As part of this careful planning, you must account for every legal issue, including selection of the appropriate operating entity.
At Ody & Wilson, we will discuss the pros and cons of various business entities, carefully explaining tax implications and liability factors involved in establishing corporations, partnerships or limited liability corporations (LLCs). Once your choice of operating entity has been made, we can assist you in drafting various business documents, including articles of incorporation, employment contracts, lease agreements and bylaws, among others.
We currently serve as corporate counsel for several area businesses. In this role, we assist our clients with the legalities involved in their day to day operations. For example, we often draft and review contracts, or work to proactively prevent business disputes. In the event a dispute cannot be settled through negotiation or mediation, we will aggressively pursue business litigation. Our attorneys have significant experience serving as solicitors. We presently serve as solicitor to over ten municipalities in Huntingdon County and enjoy the opportunity to serve our communities and provide legal advice to elected officials.
