DuPage County Estate Planning Lawyer
It is estimated that only about half of all Americans have a will. And what’s worse, fewer than half have any kind of plan for their future healthcare decisions. Many believe they do not need an estate plan if they have limited assets. But if you fail to have an effective and enforceable plan in place, you will not be the one making critical future decisions regarding your healthcare, assets and children. For the most part, these decisions will be left to the courts, and there is no guarantee that your wishes will be adhered to.
