We'll walk you through the whole process and take care of the details, while making sure all the bases are covered in planning for your family's future.

Probate Law

Probate law encompasses all of the legal pieces of distributing a person's estate after their passing. During a difficult time as such, our caring team can help with tasks such as: Ordering death certificates, Filling out the probate petition, Filing the will with the local probate court, Filing the deceased person’s last income tax return, Getting appraisals of valuable property, Collecting proceeds from life insurance policies, Obtaining appraisals for the decedent’s real property, Communicating with beneficiaries, and more.

What if there is no will?

If a person passes away in Illinois with no will the Illinois “Intestacy Laws” will be used to determine who will receive the deceased person’s assets.

Our experienced team can help you make sense of The Illinois Probate Act. 

Note: Any assets that are co-owned such jointly owned property or that have a named beneficiary such as a life insurance policy are considered non-probate property, and do not fall under Illinois intestacy laws.
