Estate Plan Preparation Lawyers in Warrenville and Winfield

Wills and trusts are the primary foundation of most estate plans, but there are a variety of other tools and instruments available to help you secure your family's future. The lawyers at Patankar Law P.C. are able to assist you in the creation and execution of:

• Wills: A will can allow to you document your wishes regarding your assets and debts following your death. It can also contain provisions that address the care of your minor children or adult dependents;
• Living Trusts: A living trust can be used to transfer assets to beneficiaries as well. Property transferred into a trust will typically not be subject to probate, allowing the process to be completed more efficiently;
• Living Wills: A living will is an advance medical directive that specifies your wishes regarding health care and death-delaying procedures in the event that you become incapacitated; and
• Powers of Attorney: A power of attorney for healthcare or property can allow you to grant decision-making authority regarding your medical care or assets to another person for a time when you are unable to make such decisions for yourself.

In addition to these instruments, we can assist with any other estate planning tools and concerns, including special needs trusts and estate tax planning.
