Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What happens if I die without a will in Illinois?
Ans Your assets will be distributed according to Illinois intestate succession laws, which may not reflect your wishes. That’s why having a will is critical.

​

Q2. What is the difference between a will and a trust?
Ans A will outlines how assets are distributed after death and must go through probate. A trust allows assets to be transferred privately and often avoids probate altogether.

​

Q3. Do I need an estate plan if I don't own much?
Ans Yes. Estate planning isn’t just about wealth—it’s about protecting loved ones, naming guardians, and preparing for unexpected medical or legal needs.
