FAQs

Creating a will is crucial for ensuring your assets are distributed according to your wishes, rather than being subject to Illinois state law. Without a will, your estate will be divided based on default intestacy rules, which may not align with your personal preferences or family situation. A valid will allows you to designate beneficiaries, appoint guardians for minor children, and select an executor. Additionally, it can help minimize disputes and delays during the probate process, providing clarity and reassurance for your loved ones.

The cost varies depending on the specific details and complexity of each individual case. We recommend scheduling a complimentary consultation to discuss your particular situation and provide a more accurate estimate.

While not legally mandated in Illinois, engaging an attorney for real estate transactions is strongly advised. Lawyers play an active role in these processes, safeguarding your interests by reviewing contracts, addressing title issues, and facilitating a smooth, legally compliant closing. Their legal expertise can help prevent costly errors and provide assurance throughout the transaction process.
