Trusts and Estates

• Estate Planning
• Wills
  When a person dies with a Last Will and Testament, the person is considered to have died “testate.” When a person dies without a valid Last Will and Testament, the person is considered to have died “intestate.” The primary difference is that a Will controls who receives the decedent’s assets. The individuals designated to receive assets under a Will are called “Legatees.” The individual who manages the estate under a Will is the Executor. When a person dies Intestate, Illinois law designates which person, or combination of people, are to receive the person’s remaining assets after payment of debts or claims. The individuals designated to receive assets when there is no Will are called “Heirs” and the person who manages the estate is the Administrator.
• Trusts
• Power of Attorney
  One such alternative is a power of attorney (“POA”). POAs are legal tools that allows a person to appoint another person to manage some or all of their affairs in the event of incapacitation or other impairment. While there are many types of POA, the ones which function similarly to guardianships would be the power of attorney for health care and the power of attorney for finances.
• Probate
  Probate is the court supervised process where a representative is appointed either through a Last Will and Testament, called an Executor, or through a court order when there is not Last Will, called an Administrator, where a person is appointed to collect a deceased individual’s assets, pay the debts, and distribute the balance to those entitled to receive the remainder according to Illinois Statute and pursuant to the Will. Probate law is governed by Illinois law and the Illinois statutes provide the groundwork for the procedure of administrating and settling a decedent’s estate.
