In this article, we explain the Illinois rules of construction for wills and trusts. If an Illinois will or trust contains language that is vague or subject to multiple interpretations, interested parties can file a lawsuit called a “construction action” to request that a court determine how the ambiguous language in the will or trust should be construed.
In this Learn About Law we discuss the elements that make up a typical estate plan. We discuss the use of wills, powers of attorney and a joint revocable trust and how they benefit your estate plan.
A lot of my clients either are starting to have children, or are thinking about having children. As you might expect, this means that I am fielding a lot of questions about wills and trusts. These conversations inevitably start with wills, because this is the estate planning instrument that most people are familiar with (e.g. “if you don’t attend University of Iowa, I am removing you from my will”). However, wills are just one component of a healthy estate plan–and not even the most important component.In following articles, I will explain in detail the different components of a proper estate plan.

A treatment plan is a detailed document that the facility must create within the first three days upon admittance of a patient that has been involuntarily committed. Treatment plans are shaped to each patient’s needs, therefore they vary from person to person. Once the treatment plan is complete (which should be in the first three days), the facility is obligated to give you a copy of the entire plan.
The baseline rule is that the disabled adult’s home state has jurisdiction over the guardianship proceeding. The disabled adult’s home state is defined as a state in which the disabled adult was physically present for at least six consecutive months immediately prior to the filing of the guardianship proceeding. A temporary absence counts toward this six month period. If the disabled adult does not have a “home state” because he or she has not lived in the same state for six consecutive months prior to filing the guardianship proceeding a state with a significant connection to the disabled adult may assert jurisdiction.
Many attorneys offer both free consultations and paid consultations, depending on what you are trying to accomplish. The key to understanding the difference, is that generally attorneys will not give legal advice without being first hired by the client.
