Estate Planning for Everyone You Love and Everything You Have
Protect Your Family, Your Assets, and Your Peace of Mind
Do you know what would happen, legally and financially, if something unexpected happened to you?
If you don’t have an estate plan, or if yours is out of date, your family could face unnecessary court processes, lost assets, and stressful delays.
THE MUST-HAVE FAMILY PROTECTION BLUEPRINT
Will Your Family Be Protected If Something Happens to You?
Discover the 3 essential steps every Illinois family needs to protect their loved ones, their assets, and their legacy without confusion, stress, or expensive surprises.
HELPING ILLINOIS FAMILIES KEEP LOVED ONES OUT OF COURT
At Connors Law, we design estate plans that actually work when they’re needed most. Our goal is simple: to keep your loved ones out of court, out of conflict, and fully protected.
Why You Need an Estate Plan That Works
WITHOUT PROPER PLANNING, YOUR ASSETS COULD BE LOST TO:
Comprehensive wills and trusts designed to protect your family and your future in Illinois.
The State Department of Unclaimed Property
Probate court, which can take months or years
Taxes and fees that reduce your family’s inheritance
Confusion or conflict over who gets what and when
If you’re not 100% sure what would happen to your money, property, and loved ones right now, it’s time to find out — before life makes the decision for you.
OUR PROCESS
The Family Wealth Planning Session
Your first step is a Family Wealth Planning Session, where we walk through your assets, wishes, and goals together.
Before your session, you’ll complete a Family Wealth Inventory and Assessment to get a clear picture of what you own and what matters most.
Then, we’ll show you exactly what would happen legally if something were to happen to you — and help you decide if that outcome is acceptable.
If it’s not, we’ll design a customized estate plan that protects your family and everything you’ve worked for.
What Your Plan Can Include
Most plans begin with a revocable living trust, which allows your property to stay in your control during your lifetime and pass smoothly to your loved ones later — without the cost and delay of probate.
When properly maintained, your plan can also help minimize or eliminate estate taxes and protect your family’s financial future.
If you’re a parent with young children, your plan will also include a Kids Protection Plan®, ensuring your children are cared for by the people you choose, no matter what happens.
