Estate Planning Essentials: Why You Need Good Counsel
Do you need to create an estate plan, but aren’t sure where to start? The Estate Planning process can be complicated and overwhelming to set up without the help of a trusted attorney. At Tannehill Law LLC, our founding partner Melissa Tannehill offers both expertise and experience when it comes to setting up a personalized estate plan.
What is an Estate Plan?
An estate plan is a set of legal documents that dictate what will happen to your assets and property after you’re no longer capable of making those decisions for yourself. We want to emphasize how crucial it is to have these documents in place, and why having good counsel can reduce the uncertainty that comes with this type of planning.
In Illinois without an estate plan, your assets and property are divided up by the state law when you pass. This also means loved ones will need to go through the dreaded probate process to try and recover what is yours. Estate planning is your opportunity to take over the decision-making process about who will receive your assets, how they will be distributed, and when they will be distributed.
The Benefits of Working with an Attorney:
With estate planning, it’s also important to have trusted advisors that help you weigh your options, rather than those that simply formalize documents. Melissa Tannehill, the founding partner of Tannehill Law LLC, understands how estate planning, finances, and real estate go hand in hand.
