Montgomery, Illinois, Estate Planning Lawyer
Proper estate planning involves taking precautions for the future - such as the creation of wills, trusts, health care powers of attorney, and other instruments. It also involves solving immediate issues-such as the transfer of property from an elder family member, who is entering a care facility, to another family member. Regardless of your estate planning needs, the law office of Shannon M. Windisch, P.C., offers extensive and affordable estate planning services.
Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney and Guardianships
The unexpected passing of a family member can bring additional upheaval to a family if the estate is not in order. Likewise, the absence of a health care power of attorney can cause extreme heartache in the wake of catastrophic injury or major illness.
Our firm will meet with you to discuss your estate planning needs and concerns. By reviewing your estate, we can plan for the distribution of your assets, the payment of your liabilities/debts, and the creation of trusts and guardianships for any children or grandchildren. By taking the appropriate steps now, you can free your family from having to make complicated financial decisions or from being involved in a contentious legal battle during an already difficult time. We can also discuss your living will wishes and make your desires legally enforceable.
If you are in the process of obtaining a divorce or are getting remarried, it is often advisable to create a new last will and testament. We can work with you to re-analyze your assets and update your will in order to be consistent with new family and ownership arrangements.
Estate Dispute, Negotiation and Asset Transfer Legal Services
Estate planning can also involve immediate problems. Negotiations are sometimes necessary when arranging for an individual's move into a nursing home. While legal disputes regarding the terms of a will and the intentions of the deceased can also arise among family members. No matter the circumstances, our firm can negotiate disputes and facilitate the transfer of property in order to retain family harmony during trying times.
