A Power of Attorney (POA) is a document whereby one person gives another person the authority to act on his/her behalf. POAs can be broad or specific. In Illinois, like most other states, we have two broad POAs – the POA for Property (sometimes called POA for Finance) and the POA for Healthcare. It is essential to have these documents in place before the person becomes mentally incapacitated. If mentally incapacitated (e.g., dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, severe mental loss), the person cannot sign the POA. In such circumstances, a much more costly guardianship procedure would be needed.

Limited Liability Companies
Business law (also referred to as “Corporate Law”) is the body of law governing the rights, relations, and conduct of persons, companies, organizations, and businesses.

It encompasses the configuration, financial support, control, and dissolution of these entities.

Estate Administration is the process by which a person’s assets are distributed legally and properly after the person’s death. The estate administration process can range between being reasonably simple (e.g., Small Estate Affidavit) to a more complicated process (e.g., Probate). If the deceased person has a will or trust, then his/her assets are distributed as the will/trust directs. If the deceased person does not have a will or a trust, then state laws (called intestacy laws) address how administration matters, we proudly take on the responsibility of walking personal representatives through the entire probate and estate administration process. The full probate process includes...

Trusts
The responsibilities of being a homeowner or a carrier of life insurance policy go beyond maintaining it, paying it, or cleaning it. Whatever it may be, there is more to having assets than taking care of them. After all, why are you taking care of them? If you own assets, we recommend talking with a professional living trust attorney to help ensure your assets are fully protected.
Power of Attorney
It is always the little things we don’t think about. For instance, when dealing with wills, trusts, or the financial power of attorneys, each state has restrictions on who can and can’t serve as a personal representative, trustee, or attorney. Each state also has different formalities on who can witness a will, trust or power of attorney, etc. What works in Florida may not work in Illinois, and to avoid this simple, yet costly mistake, our first piece of (free) advice would be to seek legal counsel.
