- Is it important to you that estate planning can help your children minimize probate and its delays, expenses, and a potential loss of privacy?

What is Estate Planning?
Estate planning and the process of executing a will can get confusing in how they are alike and how they are different. Many clients often think these legal documents are interchangeable, but they are not. A Brave Law lawyer can make sure your wealth and property go where you want during this process.
A will is an important part of the estate planning process. It lets you detail where you want your property and assets to go after your death. Other family matters, including who will be serving as guardian of your children, also get outlined in a will.
However, you can trust a lawyer from our office to help you resolve other issues not handled by a will. The following list shows important matters you can accomplish with estate planning in Peoria IL:
- An estate plan includes legal documents that take effect while you are alive and some that only take effect when you are dead.
- Living wills are part of an estate plan that can outline who can make important decisions for you if you cannot make those decisions.
- A durable power of attorney can allow an agent to handle your finances.
- Designating a health care power of attorney can allow you to name an agent to make decisions on your health care if you become incapacitated.
- You can include decisions on treatment to prolong your life with an advanced directive.
Let a Brave Law lawyer counsel you on these and other matters concerning estate planning in Peoria. Illinois clients connect with our lawyers on these matters to ensure their wishes are handled well while they are living and after they pass away.
