COMMON QUESTIONS • ILLINOIS LAW

Estate Planning, Living Trusts & Probate FAQs

What is the difference between a Will and a Living Trust in Illinois? +

A Will directs how your assets are distributed, but estates with a home or significant assets often still have to go through probate court. A properly funded Revocable Living Trust allows your family to manage and pass on your home and savings privately without waiting on probate court.

What does a probate lawyer do when a family member passes away? +

A probate attorney handles the court paperwork, notifies heirs and creditors, helps transfer real estate and bank accounts, and guides the executor through every requirement so the family isn’t overwhelmed.
