Greater Chicago Estate Planning Attorneys

Estate planning is the process of arranging the way your estate will be handled after you pass away or if you become incapacitated because of injury or illness during your lifetime. Our skilled estate planning lawyers diligently work with our clients to identify and meet their estate planning needs and create estate plans tailored to the unique characteristics of each client.

Experienced Estate Planning Lawyers in Chicago 

Estate planning is often misunderstood. While it often includes arrangements for your passing, effective estate planning actually focuses on anticipating and planning for all your future needs. A financial advisor cannot provide legal advice or prepare legal documents on your behalf, but the trusts and estate attorneys at Cross Town Legal often work our clients’ trusted consultants.

Estate planning creates a clear plan of action and provides for a smooth financial transition in the event of your death or incapacitation. However, our experienced living trust attorneys can also protect your assets from misuse or excessive tax liability during your golden years. 

Real Estate Services We Provide

Our estate planning services include, but aren’t limited to:

  • Drafting and amending wills and codicils 
  • Creating living trusts to avoid probate
  • Establishing future trusts for your loved ones
  • Protecting your assets from misappropriation during periods of incapacitation
  • Executing medical proxies and powers of attorney
  • Planning for long-term care needs
  • Establishing joint ownership of assets to avoid probate 
  • Otherwise analyzing your future financial needs

The Chicago estate planning lawyers at Cross Town Legal will personally walk you through this process, which may include discussing your personal goals, family medical history, financial assets, and problematic family dynamics.

At Cross Town Legal, our goals are your goals. We don’t work for the bank or even your family members; we work for you. Our experienced estate planning attorneys pride themselves on efficient and effective client communication and outstanding customer satisfaction. Listening to and understanding our clients’ financial goals, medical wishes, and family concerns is crucial during the estate planning process. If you’re ready to draft a will, recently had children, or are struggling with a serious medical diagnosis, our compassionate community-minded Chicago estate planning lawyers are here for you.
