The estate planning attorneys at Christopher S. Nudo, Attorney at Law offer a wide range of services to individuals and families, including will drafting, trust formation, powers of attorney, and living will preparation. Unfortunately, most of the residents of Des Plaines have not taken the time to consult an attorney and draft a valid will. If they should die intestate (without a will), their estate will be placed in probate and their assets will be divided in accordance with Illinois law. As Des Plaines estate planning lawyers, our mission at Christopher S. Nudo, Attorney at Law is to provide our clients with the peace of mind that comes with knowing that their final wishes will be respected and adhered to. To develop a practical plan that will secure the futures of your loved ones, contact our Chicagoland area law office and schedule an appointment.
Estate Planning in the Des Plaines, Illinois
Most people identify estate planning solely with will formation, but creating a comprehensive estate plan requires much more than the execution of a last will and testament. For instance, if you became incapacitated but were still alive, your will would have no bearing. To prepare against this sort of eventuality, estate planning lawyers recommend a power of attorney agreement, which designates a trusted person or persons to make decisions about your medical care, your business, and about the immediate care of your minor children.
Among the services that our estate planning lawyers provide are:
- Will preparation and execution
- Revocable and irrevocable trust formation
- Drafting powers of attorney
- Executor guidance
- Guardianship agreements
- Declarations naming pre-need guardians for minors
- Living wills
- Health care directives, including HIPAA releases
At the Des Plaines firm of Christopher S. Nudo, Attorney at Law , our attorneys recommend that all parents of minor children develop and routinely update their estate plans. But even if you do not currently have children, it is never too early to establish a complete estate plan that can be modified as the circumstances of your life change. Do not hesitate; call today.
