Estate Planning Law Firm for Inverness Illinois
At Christopher S. Nudo, Attorney at Law , it is the mission of our estate planning attorneys to provide our clients with the peace of mind that comes with knowing that they have their affairs are in order. Unfortunately, most individuals in areas like Cook County do not even have a legally valid will. And many of those who have drafted a last will and testament have not gone to the extent of developing a comprehensive estate plan. At Christopher S. Nudo, Attorney at Law , our estate planning lawyers believe that all adults should have wills—particularly if they are the parents of minor children. We strive to create contingency plans for all of life’s eventualities, including accidents, incapacitation, and death. Contact our Inverness area law office to discuss ensuring the future of your loved ones.
Developing a Complete Estate Plan
It is a common misconception that estate planning is synonymous with will preparation. Although drafting and executing a legally binding will and last testament is a cornerstone of estate planning, is only part of the services that our attorneys provide. Because a will is only triggered by the death of the testator, it will not be useful in the event of mental or physical incapacitation. Through careful estate planning, you will be able to designate a person or persons to:
- Make business and financial decisions for you
- Make healthcare decisions for you
- Decide on whether life-support measures should be ended
- Care for your minor children or special needs relatives in the event of your incapacity
- Oversee pools of resources
Among the services our estate planning attorneys provide are:
- Will preparation and execution
- Revocable and irrevocable trust formation
- Drafting powers of attorney for financial matters
- Executor guidance
- Declarations naming pre-need guardians for minors
- Living wills
- Health care directives, including HIPAA releases
