An estate plan is a set of instructions for people who will be reading it on the worst week of their lives. It needs to be unambiguous, current, and actually findable.
What we handle
Wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, powers of attorney for property and health care, living wills, guardianship nominations, probate and estate administration, trust administration, and will contests.
Probate in Illinois
Where there is no will, Illinois decides who inherits and who administers the estate. That usually costs more, takes longer and produces a result the family would not have chosen. A straightforward plan avoids nearly all of it.
Reviewed, not filed and forgotten
Marriages, births, deaths, house purchases and business sales all change what your plan should say. We review every plan we write on a regular cycle, and there is no charge for small updates.
