Kevin's firm handled setting up my will and trust recently. They took something that seemed intimidating and made it easy to understand. I've also referred a couple clients to Kevin - he's trustworthy, approachable and very fairly priced.

Create an Estate Plan That Reflects Your Wishes

Estate planning will allow you to be in control of what happens to your property, and who will carry out your wishes. A will can name beneficiaries, name an executor and designate a guardian for minor children. A trust can give you more control of how your assets are managed and distributed. Our Elgin wills and trusts attorneys take the time to learn about your family, finances and concerns before recommending a plan.

Know How Wills and Trusts Work Together

Wills and trusts have different purposes and many estate plans include both. A will, for the most part, tells what to do with property that is part of the probate estate. If properly drafted and funded, a living trust can allow the trust property to be managed or distributed without the full probate process. Your best strategy depends on how your property is owned, who your beneficiaries are, and what you want your plan to do.

Get Clear, Personalized Legal Advice

Estate planning may seem complicated, but it doesn’t have to be an overwhelming process. O’Flaherty Law offers practical explanations and customized recommendations to assist you in making informed choices. Whether you are drafting your first will, establishing a trust, or reviewing documents from years ago, our legal team can assist you in putting together a plan to protect your wishes and provide your family with more clarity.
