Chicago, Illinois Probate Attorneys
The probate process can prove to be rather difficult. In addition to grieving over the loss of a loved one, family members must distribute assets, gather personal information, and deal with sensitive family matters. An experienced lawyer can help alleviate these burdens and provide much-needed guidance during these difficult times.
Compassionate, Effective Probate Assistance
At Andrew W. Levenfeld & Associates, Ltd., our compassionate probate attorneys assist clients with all types of probate and estate planning matters. For example, in an estate without a will (intestate), we can represent surviving family members. In contrast, if there is a will (testate), we can advise and represent the executor/administrator of the estate. We always strive to make the probate process as simple as possible for you and your family. Please contact us for smooth, efficient assistance with the distribution of assets to the appropriate heirs and beneficiaries.
Independent administration is the most common type of probate estate in Illinois. It allows for less court supervision and can save considerable time and expense for the executor/administrator. In addition to assisting clients with independent administration, we also represent clients involved in prolonged and contentious probate litigation, which usually involves trust and will contests.
If necessary, our probate attorneys also can help establish a guardianship. While the court will ultimately appoint a guardian to handle the minor's financial and health care affairs, we can help make sure it is a responsible party who has the minor's best interests in mind.
Let our firm help settle debts and distribute property through the probate process. Please contact our experienced Illinois and Indiana probate attorneys today.
