It can be difficult for most individuals to confront their mortality and make decisions that surround the end of their lives. Fortunately, our experienced DuPage County wills and trusts lawyers can guide you through the process in an efficient manner.
At Esp, Kreuzer, Cores & McLaughlin, LLP, our attorneys are experienced in a wide range of matters involving estate planning. We will carefully examine your finances and help you make determinations regarding your estate.
Estate planning typically encompasses two main categories — wills and trusts.
- Wills: A will is written to describe your wishes for the distribution of your property upon your death. In short, a will allows you to decide who gets what and when. A detailed and accurate will goes far to prevent future disputes that might lead to will contests. Our attorneys will help you explore many contingencies and ensure that your will provides for your heirs.
- Trusts: Similar to a will, a trust is a document that allows you to protect your assets and determine the distribution of your estate. There are many forms of trusts that cover a wide range of specific situations, including charitable trusts, life insurance trusts, living trusts, asset protection trusts and educational trusts. An experienced attorney can guide you through the entire process and ensure that the fine details, such as how the trust will be funded, are not missed.
