Your Estate Planning Lawyer
An estate lawyer helps people plan for the management and distribution of their wealth after death. Planning your estate with a good Oak Brook estate law lawyer will help to ensure that your wishes are carried out while also minimizing potential tax and legal issues for your heirs. A goal of estate planning is to eliminate or minimize the need for your heirs to go through probate which is typically time-consuming and costly. Your estate lawyer should get to know about you and your financial situation in order to give you guidance and sound legal advice on what they think is best for you and your particular circumstances.
Your Estate
When lots of people hear the word “estate” they think of royalty and very wealthy people who quite literally live on an extensive area of land in the country in a mansion but in reality, anyone who owns anything, even if it is simply a car or vinyl collection, has an estate. In the context of estate planning, your estate is all of the money and property you own and what will be left of it after you die. Estate planning is for the living to ensure that their wishes for their money and property are carried out when they are no longer here. Whether you have money or valuables that you want to pass on or things precious only to you, planning your estate now will give you peace of mind that you no longer have to do this as well as the knowledge that your things will go where you want them to.
