The issue of estate planning can be a difficult subject for many people, but having a solid estate plan in place can ensure that your last wishes are respected and your loved ones aren’t left with an unnecessary burden after your passing. In addition to a last will and testament, estate planning law often encompasses a number of legal matters that can ensure your wishes are granted if you are ever incapacitated or unable to make medical or financial decisions on your own, as well as pre-need legal planning, such as guardianship of a minor.
Whatever your needs may be, the experienced estate planning lawyers of Christopher S. Nudo, Attorney at Law , can help streamline the estate planning process and ensure that all documents are prepared and submitted in accordance with Illinois estate planning law.
Give your loved ones peace of mind
By committing yourself to have an up-to-date estate plan in place, you can help minimize your loved ones’ stress following your passing by designating an executor (or personal representative), planning division of your assets, assigning power of attorney, healthcare surrogate, advanced directives, and more. If you pass without having an estate plan in place (intestate), your estate will be executed in accordance with Illinois probate law. Estates often take longer to execute and involve a great deal more work for the executor, when a person dies intestate. By having an estate plan in place, you not only have control over how your assets are divided, but you can avoid a lot of unnecessary stress for your loved ones as they grieve.
