Estate planning is not just about what happens to your stuff after you’re gone; it’s about making decisions that impact you and your loved ones now. Our Arlington Heights estate planning attorneys will create a comprehensive estate plan that fits your specific needs and goals. Whether you’re single, married, or widowed we can help you navigate estate planning costs and legalities, so your estate is handled exactly as you want, in the most cost-effective and tax-efficient way possible.
One of the first decisions in the estate planning process is whether to have a Last Will and Testament or a Trust. Making informed decisions about these options is crucial to ensure the best outcome for your specific situation and family needs. Each has its advantages depending on your situation. Assets such as life insurance policies, 401(k)s and other investment accounts have beneficiaries and don’t need to be included in your will or trust. Understanding the role of real property, liquid assets, collectibles and jewelry in your estate plan is key. We’ll walk you through these choices and explain how trusts can bypass probate and make the transition for your beneficiary smoother.
Estate and long-term care planning go together. Understanding estate planning law is crucial as it encompasses the legal aspects of long-term care and elder law. You need to think not only about what happens after you’re gone but also about how your needs will be met if you need long-term care. Our experienced attorneys will guide you through Medicare planning and elder law, so you and your loved ones are protected no matter what the future brings.
