Monmouth, Illinois, Wills & Trusts AttorneysMore Than Document DraftingSome lawyers speed through wills and trusts like factory workers. At Whitman, Baber & Siegel, we know that your will or trust is more than just a document; it is a carefully considered and binding legal instrument. Our attorneys use their thorough legal knowledge and extensive experience to create lasting legal solutions. They will take always the time to explain the entire legal process and answer all of your questions. WillsA will can determine who will benefit from your estate, who will care for your children, and who will execute your wishes in the event of your death. Without a will, your property will be distributed according to Illinois law. You will not be able to determine who manages your estate once you pass, and your loved ones may have more reason to argue over your property. If you have specific instructions that you would like followed upon your death, contact an experienced wills attorney at Whitman, Baber & Siegel. We will explain the steps that are important in meeting your estate planning goals, including: - Naming a guardian to care for your children
- Appointing a personal representative to administer your estate
- Granting someone a durable power of attorney to handle your financial and healthcare concerns in the event you become incapacitated
- Drafting a living will to express what medical care you would like to have performed in the event you become incapacitated
TrustsLiving trusts allow you to manage your assets during your lifetime and provide for your loved ones afterwards. Unlike wills, living trusts do not have to go through probate when you pass, saving both time and money. When you decide to create a trust, you must determine who will be your trustee and which of your loved ones will receive your trust assets. Your trustee takes legal title to your property and follows the instructions you set out for your property. Our attorneys have years of experience creating trusts. We can help ensure that your trust properly follows the law and your ultimate purpose. Contact our Monmouth law office for personal, detail-oriented representation. Se habla español.
