If you pass away without a will or similar plan in Illinois, state rules will decide how your belongings are shared, which might not be what you wanted. This can also lead to a longer, more complicated process for your family.
It's a good idea to review your plan every 3-5 years, or sooner if big life changes happen, like marriage, divorce, having children, or major changes to your assets.
Not at all. Future planning is for everyone, no matter how much you own. It makes sure your wishes are known, your family is protected, and helps avoid unnecessary complications.
A will explains how your belongings should be distributed after you pass and usually involves a public process. A trust can help share your assets without that public process, offer more privacy, and give you more control over how and when things are distributed, often while you're still living.
