Burial Arrangements in Unprobated Will

The Orphans’ Court had jurisdiction to determine the disposition of the decedent’s remains in accordance with the will of the decedent even though the will had not yet been admitted to probate. The Philadelphia Orphans’ Court did not abuse its discretion in finding that the decedent had been domiciled in Philadelphia when the decedent had sold his trailer in New Jersey and leased a residence in Philadelphia even though the decedent spent the last seven weeks of his life in medical facilities in Delaware County. In re: Estate of Jeffrey Feldman, 465 EDA 2024 (Pa. Super. 3/31/2025).
