ESTATE PLANNING

Law Offices Paul F. O'Keefe, P.C. assists clients with their estate plans.  Everybody should have an estate plan.  The complexity of your estate plan depends upon the size and nature of your assets and your personal and family circumstances.

An estate plan:

• allows you to make the right decisions for your family
• assures that your property goes to the people to whom you wish it to go
• minimizes or eliminates death taxes
• minimizes administration costs
• may allow your estate to avoid probate
• provides for the smooth administration of your estate.

Wills, trusts, and other estate planning documents must conform to technical legal requirements and should be carefully drafted by an attorney.

To reflect changes in the law, the nature and size of your assets, and your personal and family situation, periodically you should review your estate plan with your attorney.

Your estate plan should also include a living will, power of atttorney for property, and power of attorney for health care.

Please call us at 312-263-9200 (Chicago) or 847-263-9262 (Waukegan), or e-mail us, to arrange for a consultation.
