Estate Planning

Chicago-Area Estate Planning Attorneys

Wills, trusts, and powers of attorney are the kinds of forward-looking adult responsibilities that many Americans seem to enjoy putting off. At Newland, Newland, & Newland, our experienced, comforting estate planning lawyers do their best to make the process an exercise in optimism, and a loving gesture to family and friends who will survive you.

Your Peace of Mind

The list of our estate planning services designed to give our Chicago-area clients peace of mind about the future includes:

• Wills are all about your final thoughts and wishes, and the meeting of your survivors' financial and property needs. We can help draw up and update these documents, as conditions change.
• Probate allows beneficiaries to obtain absolute ownership of an asset. Probate court orders determine a person's right to property and can fend off future claims.
• Complex estates involve transfers of wealth, estate freeze trusts, business succession planning, and efforts to minimize estate taxes.
• Trusts, revocable trusts among them, are necessary for asset protection, estate planning, and privacy benefits, and essential for minimizing taxes and maximizing family income.
• Trust administration is the actual execution of the terms of the trust. A trust administrator will deal with the trust tax return, trust management, and asset protection.
• Disabled adult guardianship is called for when an adult becomes so incapacitated, he or she is incapable of managing his or her financial affairs.
