Tailored Estate Planning Services For Your Family’s Needs 

A person does not have to be wealthy or elderly to do some serious thinking regarding estate planning. If you own a home or a car or have a checking or savings account, you have an estate.  But no matter your net worth, it’s important to have at least a basic estate plan in place. Such a plan ensures that your family is taken care of after your death. Dying without a will or trust (intestate) can be costly to your heirs and can leave you without a say in who inherits your assets. By putting your intentions in writing, you help avoid potential conflicts after you’re gone.

Attorney Douglas Boodt has been providing estate planning services in DuPage and Cook Counties since 1999 and can assist you in planning your estate by working with you to prepare:
