Frequently Asked Questions
What does an estate planning attorney in Skokie do?
An estate planning attorney helps you prepare legal documents for managing your assets and healthcare decisions. This includes wills, revocable living trusts, durable powers of attorney, and advance directives. They also advise on Illinois probate and estate tax laws.
Do I need a will or a trust in Illinois?
A will is a basic document that directs how your assets are distributed after death. A trust can help avoid probate and provide more control over asset distribution. Many Illinois residents use both, depending on their estate size and family situation.
What is the Illinois estate tax exemption for 2025?
For 2025, the Illinois estate tax exemption is 4 million dollars per person. Estates valued above this amount may owe state estate tax. This exemption is not portable between spouses, unlike the federal exemption.
