Frequently Asked Questions
Helpful answers to common questions about real estate, estate planning, and business law in Illinois.
Do I need a real estate attorney when buying or selling a home in Illinois?
Illinois generally does not require an attorney for every residential real estate transaction. However, an experienced real estate attorney can help protect your interests by reviewing contracts, explaining deadlines, addressing inspection and title issues, and guiding you through the closing process. Explore our real estate services.
What does an attorney do during the real estate attorney review period?
During attorney review, a lawyer examines the purchase contract, explains important provisions, and may negotiate modifications to protect the client's interests. The rights and deadlines involved depend on the specific contract, so timely legal review is important.
What is the difference between a will and a living trust in Illinois?
A will provides instructions for distributing assets governed by the will after death and can nominate guardians for minor children. A living trust can provide additional control over asset management during life and after death. When properly established and funded, a trust may help certain assets avoid probate. Learn about estate planning.
How can I avoid probate in Illinois?
Depending on your circumstances, probate avoidance strategies may include properly funded living trusts, beneficiary designations, joint ownership arrangements, and qualifying transfer-on-death instruments. Each option has different legal and financial consequences. An estate planning attorney can help evaluate which approach fits your needs.
When should I update my will or estate plan?
Consider reviewing your estate plan after important life events such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, the death of a family member, or significant changes in your financial circumstances. Periodic reviews can also help ensure your documents reflect your current wishes and applicable law.
Can a business attorney review contracts and commercial leases?
Yes. A business attorney can review, draft, and negotiate business contracts, commercial leases, partnership agreements, and other legal documents. Legal review can help identify unclear obligations, unfavorable provisions, and potential risks before you sign. Explore our business legal services.
