Protecting Your Assets
The tax law changed recently, raising the estate tax threshold. Despite this, you may have significant tax liability. The appreciation in your retirement accounts, property values, and other investment assets are worth protecting.
Our Illinois estate planning attorneys can help. We assist in maximizing your assets and reducing the risk of losing your assets to federal estate taxes. We will advise you on the various estate planning options, such as living trusts, irrevocable trusts, family limited partnerships, charitable programs, or another method. We will help you choose one to protect assets from estate tax liability, and ensure that they reach intended beneficiaries.
Probate
If you die or become incapacitated, your family members may need to go through probate in order to gain control of your assets and distribute them to the heirs. Having a will in place can help your loved ones from having to make these difficult financial decisions. The lawyers at Carlson Partners, Ltd. can help guide you through this process.
Our firm also provides valuable guidance and trusted representation for probate administration needs and comprehensive services in this area that range from guardianships to will contest litigation. If a loved one has passed away, we work to ensure that the estate is administered according to his or her wishes.
