Estate Planning & Litigation

Kane County Estate Litigation Lawyer

Having a thorough estate plan in place is one of the most beneficial things you can do for your family prior to your death. A complete, well-executed estate plan allows you to make your wishes known with regard to how your property should be distributed and to whom after you pass. Estate planning also allows you to name the people you wish to make decisions on your behalf should you ever become unable to make them for yourself.

Estate planning can help you reach your goals in many ways.

Estate Litigation

Estate litigation may become necessary when there is a dispute over a will or a trust. In these cases, a beneficiary or heir will typically challenge the validity of a will or trust when he or she feels that some impropriety may have negatively impacted his or her share of the estate. I represent people on both sides of these cases, including executors, trustees, beneficiaries, heirs and other concerned parties.
