Orland Park Estate Planning Attorney

Law Firm Assisting Clients With Wills, Trusts, and Estate Administration in Cook County

No matter your age, it is important to have a plan in place for what will happen after your death. Would you like your property or assets to be inherited by your children, other family members, or certain charities? Do you want certain people to serve as the guardians of your minor children? Proper estate planning is essential for ensuring that your wishes are carried out correctly, and it can also ensure that you will have the resources you need if you should ever become incapacitated and unable to make decisions for yourself.

The experienced attorneys of Anderson and Associates, P.C. can help you understand your best options for specifying your wishes for your estate and make sure you have met your legal requirements when executing these documents. We will work with you to create an estate plan that protects your interests and meets your needs.
