WILLS

A will is the most straight-forward document used to specify how an estate should be distributed.  A person designated to receive property under a will is called a legatee.  Our goal is to ensure that your estate is settled rapidly and efficiently with minimum stress and expense for your legatees.  A will can be simple or elaborate, depending upon the wishes of the person who makes it (the testator).  A will can include a variety of post-death instructions.  A will can describe who should receive certain items, such as jewelry, furniture, and automobiles.   A will can name a guardian who will take care of minor or adult disabled children should there be no surviving parent.   A will can describe your care preferences for your pets.

This an extremely important document for you and for your family.  It should be constructed with a great deal of care, after a detailed discussion with your attorney.  We are here to make sure that your will is properly designed and exectuted, so that it protects you and your loved ones and meets the legal requirements for wills in Illinois.
