Most people have never met with a probate attorney before, and it's normal not to know what to gather. Here is what helps us get started when a family comes in for a first appointment:

🔹 The death certificate
🔹 The original will, if one exists
🔹 A rough list of accounts and property
🔹 Any deed to a home
🔹 Contact information for heirs

Please don't wait until you have every item in hand. Showing up with partial information is completely fine, and our team can help you track down the rest.

Call us at 708-833-8406 or visit www.lglennlaw.com to schedule a consultation.

The paperwork is the part of buying or selling a home that nobody warns you about.

Illinois is widely considered an attorney-closing state, so having an attorney review your contract and closing documents is the norm here, even though the law doesn't require every party to have separate counsel.

Municipal inspections, transfer stamps, and village-specific procedures also vary from one community to the next, and a missed local requirement is one of the most common reasons a closing date moves.

Title commitments and settlement statements deserve a careful read before closing day, not a skim at the table. We help buyers and sellers throughout the South Suburbs catch these issues early so the process stays on schedule.

Inheriting a property that comes with debt can become overwhelming. Whether it is an existing mortgage, unpaid property taxes, or other financial obligations, inherited real estate can create unexpected challenges for families already dealing with the loss of a loved one.

Before making any decisions, it is important to understand:
🔹What debts are attached to the property
🔹Whether probate may be required
🔹What tax obligations may exist
🔹Your options for keeping, selling, or transferring the home

Every situation is different, and the right path forward depends on the details of the estate. If you have recently inherited property and have questions about your next steps, we are here to provide guidance and support.

Have you noticed small changes in an aging parent's behavior or decision-making? Often, the need for additional support does not appear overnight. It can begin with subtle signs that become more noticeable over time.

Some common indicators that it may be time to start a conversation include missed bill payments or financial confusion, difficulty keeping up with appointments, increased vulnerability to scams or suspicious requests, and challenges managing everyday responsibilities.

Starting these conversations early can help families explore options, such as powers of attorney and other planning tools, before a crisis occurs.

If you have concerns about an aging loved one and are unsure where to begin, our team is here to help you understand your options with compassion and care.

Once your child turns 18, they are legally considered an adult. That means parents may no longer have automatic access to medical information or the ability to handle certain financial matters in an emergency.

A simple estate planning conversation can help your family prepare with documents such as Healthcare Powers of Attorney, Financial Powers of Attorney, and HIPAA Authorizations.

These documents can provide peace of mind while your college student focuses on classes, new experiences, and building their future.

Before move-in day or the start of a new semester, take a few minutes to ensure your family is prepared. Contact our office to learn more or schedule a drafting appointment: https://lglennlaw.com/

🔸Outstanding bills or creditor claims
🔸Property taxes and other financial responsibilities
🔸Transferring ownership of real estate and other assets

Addressing these matters early can help prevent delays and reduce stress for family members during an already emotional time.

As parents, grandparents, and other loved ones age, families sometimes face difficult questions about how to ensure their safety and well-being. In some situations, adult guardianship may be necessary when an individual can no longer make certain decisions for themselves.

Every situation is unique, but some signs that additional support may be needed include difficulty managing finances or paying bills, challenges making informed medical decisions, increased vulnerability to scams or exploitation, or declining ability to care for personal needs.

In some cases, powers of attorney can help avoid the need for guardianship if they are established before a crisis occurs.

If your family is facing these concerns, know that you do not have to navigate them alone. We are here to answer your questions with compassion and help you understand your options.

Many homeowners are surprised to learn that having a will does not always prevent court involvement when transferring property after death. Without proper planning, loved ones may face additional steps, delays, and expenses during an already difficult time.

One way families can avoid unnecessary complications is through thoughtful estate planning that considers how real estate will be transferred. In some situations, trusts and other planning tools may help streamline the process and reduce court oversight.

Your home is often one of your most valuable assets. Taking steps now can help protect your family's future and provide greater peace of mind. If you own property in Cook County and would like to discuss your estate planning options, we invite you to schedule a consultation.
