Understanding the Estate Planning Process
Although nobody really wants to think about their own mortality, it is unfortunately a reality we all need to face. Avoiding the topic means we’re also avoiding planning for the future and taking care of our loved ones after we’re gone. If you don’t make plans in advance, you may risk the courts making these decisions for you — and those decisions may not be the ones you and your family want.
Especially if you have children or dependents who rely on you for support, it’s crucial you put a plan — or will — in place to protect them when you are no longer able. This is part of an estate plan that will provide you peace of mind knowing your final wishes will be put into place and your final wishes will be respected.
Christopher S. Nudo, Attorney at Law , an estate planning law firm serving Arlington Heights, guides you through the process of designing an estate plan that protects you, your assets, and your loved ones.
What is an Estate Plan?

Our attorneys are experienced in all estate planning needs. All aspects of estate planning can be complex and sometimes overwhelming, and we can break down the process so it’s understandable and less mysterious. You don’t need to have a large amount of assets to need estate planning — big or small, estate planning is important for everyone.
It’s also important to remember that estate planning isn’t just for when you are gone. If you are incapacitated and can’t make important decisions for yourself, having power of attorney means that you have a trusted representative to make decisions for you. This protects you, your health, and your finances.
