Personal
A life-long Pennsylvania resident, Kurt lived mainly in his hometown of
Rocky Grove before attending college at the University of Pittsburgh's
Titusville and
Johnstown campuses.
He has a bachelor of science degree in psychology and spent some time working in that field
before studying at the
University of Pittsburgh
School of Law.
After living in Pittsburgh and State
College, Kurt and his wife, Jennifer, returned to Johnstown, where
much of Jennifer's family still resides.
Intestacy CalculatorsTM
Attorney Nilson is the creator of the
first interactive programs that determine any person's legal heirs for the
purpose of calculating each heir's share of the intestate estate.
These are the only programs that allow users to see how state intestacy
laws distribute their property if they don't have a valid Will.
In
acknowledgement of their usefulness, Nilson's programs were being used by
law schools and universities around the country within months of their
release, as well as by professionals in other industries such as banking
and real estate. Other attorneys are also linking to the
individual programs that are specific to their state of
practice.
