Wills & Trusts: Securing Your Legacy
Planning for the future is about protecting what matters most: your loved ones, your assets, and your legacy. A well-crafted will or trust is the cornerstone of this plan, providing you with peace of mind. Our team at CGG Law Partners guides you through every step of this important process. Ultimately, we help you choose the right tools to safeguard your family’s future.
Wills: Your Final Say
A Last Will and Testament is a foundational document that allows you to make your final wishes known. For instance, it lets you clearly state how your property and assets should be distributed. Importantly for families with children, it also allows you to appoint a legal guardian.
Without a valid will, Illinois state laws will determine how your assets are divided. Furthermore, this may not align with your true intentions. Our team ensures your will is legally sound and reflects your heartfelt wishes. This protects your family from unnecessary complications and delays.

Trusts: A Smooth Path for Your Assets
A trust is a powerful and flexible tool for managing and transferring your assets. Unlike a will, a trust can help your family avoid the often lengthy and public probate process. Consequently, your assets can be distributed quickly and privately. This gives your loved ones seamless access to what they need without court intervention.
We can help you determine if a revocable living trust is the right choice for your family. For specific goals, such as protecting assets for a child with special needs or planning for charitable giving, we design specialized trusts. These offer unique benefits and greater control over your wealth.

If you pass away without a will, the state of Illinois will determine how your property is divided according to its intestacy laws. This public, court-supervised process can be lengthy and may not align with your wishes for who inherits your assets.
A will directs how your assets should be distributed after you pass away, and it typically goes through a public court process called probate. A living trust holds your assets during your lifetime and allows them to be transferred privately to your heirs without needing to go through probate, saving time and maintaining privacy.
No. A living trust is a valuable planning tool for anyone who wants to avoid probate and protect their privacy. This is true regardless of their net worth. It helps ensure a seamless transfer of assets to loved ones.
