Planning
Protect what you've built and the people who depend on it — with a plan built on judgment, not a template.
Why plan deliberately
A good plan is specific to your family — not a form.
Estate planning is about deciding, while you can, who receives what you've built, who's in charge if you can't be, and how much survives taxes and process.
It matters especially in Illinois, where the estate tax exclusion is just $4 million per person, isn't indexed for inflation, and isn't portable between spouses. Without planning, a married couple can lose half their combined exclusion at the first death.
