Every adult should have an estate plan, especially parents, unmarried couples, and single people of retirement age. A good estate plan brings peace of mind. Peace of mind that you have taken care of the people who depend on you and made things easier for your loved ones. Peace of mind that your important personal decisions will be respected when you are no longer able to communicate them. Peace of mind that you have minimized confusion, disputes, delays, expenses, taxes, and more if you suddenly lose capacity or die. Exploring these topics and making decisions can be difficult, especially if you have not administered a loved one's estate or trust, have never experienced serious illness firsthand, or have a small number of trusted individuals in your inner circle. Patrick uses clear communication, patient listening, and years of experience to educate, advise, and empower his clients. Our law firm's step-by-step process ensures that clients' estate plans are comprehensive and thorough without overwhelming them with too many decisions at once. In addition to (1) preparing wills, trusts, and estate planning for Illinois residents, Patrick can also help with (2) preparing and negotiating premarital agreements for Illinois residents, (3) advising trustees in the uncontested administration of Illinois trusts, and (4) advising beneficiaries of Illinois trusts concerning their rights and reviewing trust administration documents.
