Estate Planning Attorney in St. Charles, Illinois

Helping Clients Prepare Effective And Personalized Estate Plans

A carefully prepared estate plan has numerous benefits. You can help your survivors avoid confusion and frustration regarding how your estate is to be distributed. It can protect funds and property that you worked so hard to obtain. We believe estate planning is a crucial component for individuals and families who want to prepare themselves for the future. Our goal is to make the process of creating an effective estate plan as stress-free as possible.

We assist clients with a wide range of estate planning issues, including the following:

Wills and trusts: We will listen to your concerns, evaluate your assets and help you determine whether your goals can be met through a will alone or whether you need to create a trust.

Powers of attorney and Living wills: Incapacity planning is another essential part of the estate planning process. We frequently help clients draft financial powers of attorney, health care powers of attorney, HIPPA releases and advance health care directives (living wills).

Additionally, we work with clients who have children 18 years or older heading off to college or already in college to prepare financial powers of attorney, health care powers of attorney, HIPPA releases for their children. In the eyes of the law, they are considered an independent adult at the age of 18. This means that in most cases, legally, parents are no longer entitled to make decisions on behalf of their child. Having the above documents in place while their child is away at school, will help parents in making important medical decisions for their child, if needed in the case of an emergency.

We seek to understand what is most important to our clients.

Just as no two people are alike, no two estate plans are alike. We understand that everyone has unique needs when it comes to estate planning, so we work one-on-one with you every step of the way to ensure every detail is covered. Our clients appreciate our strengths in tailoring unique plans which stay grounded in common sense.
