Wills & Trusts
Preparation of wills and trusts can provide for the orderly disposition of property to your chosen loved ones. There are often circumstances when complex wills or trusts are necessary. These require the services of an experienced estate planning lawyer. By using trusts and life insurance properly, you can make sure that estate taxes (or what the people you leave your assets to have to pay to the government) can be reduced, and in some cases eliminated.
Living Wills, Powers of Attorney
Estate planning includes the preparation of living wills, health care proxies, powers-of-attorney and long term health care insurance. Guardianships can be utilized through the courts for those not able to provide for their own assistance.
It is extremely important to be familiar with, and to properly use, Illinois estate planning principles in order to effectively plan for later years.
