Services

If you choose not to complete an estate plan, you are actually opting into the default estate plan of Illinois and federal laws. We help you understand the laws that apply to you and empower you to put plans in place that align with your goals.

Parents of Minors

If you have minor children, they are the reason you want to complete your estate plan. You want your children to be cared for by someone you trust. You want to financially support your children throughout life's biggest moments. We offer unique emergency and long-term planning options for parents of minor children.

Wills

Wills direct who you want to give your money or possessions at the time of your death. You will choose an Executor to facilitate the administration process. Wills also include basic guardian nominations for minor children. Wills do not avoid probate.

Trusts

Like Wills, Trusts include the basics of who should receive your money or possessions. However, unlike Wills, Trusts are effective during your incapacity as well as death. Trusts preserve your privacy, help avoid probate, and offer flexible planning and administration options. Trusts can be designed to plan for pets, minimize estate taxes and provide asset protection.

Power of Attorney for Property

A Power of Attorney for Property gives someone the authority to manage your bills, property, and possessions if you are unable to manage them on your own.

Health Care Documents

Your health care documents allow you to express your health care wishes and nominate the person you want to be your advocate if you are unable to make health care decisions on your own.
