Illinois Estate Planning and Administration Attorneys
At Bell Law, LLC, we believe that estate planning should do more than just protect assets designated for your heirs. Money and assets can be subject to hefty taxation from both the state and federal government. Our estate planning practice takes a "big picture" approach in not only protecting valued possessions, but also maximizing value for beneficiaries.
If you are in need of an estate plan involving a will and trust or representation in probate court, contact our Chicago-based firm at 773-696-5087 or toll free at 888-574-7062.
The attorneys at Bell Law, LLC provide personalized advocacy in all their areas of practice. That approach is also vital in developing an estate plan. We identify the specific needs of our clients and assess estate tax implications on families and beneficiaries. From there, we communicate the timeline and guide them through a sometimes complex process.
Most clients come to us seeking a simple will package. We secure the information necessary to draft the documents you need. If tax issues, probate or asset transfers are a concern, we can create trusts to shield your finances and possessions from estate taxes.
For clients with $100,000 or more in assets titled to the deceased, not including real estate, probate is required. The process is complex and proactive planning can prevent an estate from reaching that amount. From there, we apply for our client to be named executor or administrator, leaving the decisions in their hands and not needing court approval.
