One Firm For All Your Illinois Estate Planning Needs
At the Blacha Law Office, our estate planning attorneys are dedicated to providing families in our community with the service and resources they need to manage their estate and leave behind the legacy they’ve worked for.
The choices people face when they have decided to proceed with estate planning can be overwhelming. If you have limited assets, you may wonder whether simply creating a do-it-yourself will is sufficient. If you have a more sizable estate, it can be difficult to navigate the array of tools and strategies available.
Monika Blacha and her team offer the knowledge and experience necessary to establish a coherent, sound and comprehensive plan based on your unique family concerns and personal objectives.
Estate Planning Can Protect What Matters Most
Our law practice is genuinely focused on matters that impact people’s families, financial security, stability and peace of mind. In the realm of estate planning, our capabilities cover the spectrum of estate planning including:
- Creating a last will and testament
- Drafting and reviewing trusts
- Establishing powers of attorney
- Estate administration
- Proactively preventing potential disputes in probate
- Long-term health care planning, including drafting advance medical directives
- Succession of estates and family-owned businesses
- Adjusting estate planning to maximize tax benefits
Our attorneys’ relevant, complementary strengths include a background in business law, extensive Illinois family law knowledge and dedicated attention to practical financial issues such as retirement planning. As a result, we are adept at anticipating issues and addressing a wide range of concerns from an estate planning perspective.
Beginning with an free consultation, we can work together within your budget to find and execute the right solutions for you and your family. The simple actions you take with our guidance can make all the difference down the road for your loved ones.
Estate Planning And Probate Go Hand In Hand
You simply cannot address one without affecting the other. Proper estate planning can make the probate process go smoothly, while dying without a will can turn the probate process into an unfortunate can of worms for your loved ones. We can take stock of your situation and guide you to the estate planning vehicles that best meet your estate planning objectives. The actions you take to plan your estate today can be a lasting gift for your family members, sparing them from unnecessary stress as they come to grips with your loss and work on winding down your estate according to your wishes.
Our attorneys can offer you with knowledgeable guidance and compassionate counsel whether you are creating a will for the first time, updating your estate plan due to major changes in your life, or trying to make sense of your legal options after the death of a loved one.
