Probate. Trust administration doesn’t involve probate, so the process for your family is more efficient and less stressful. Privacy. Trusts are not public record and remain private. Tax Benefits. Some trusts can provide substantial tax benefits. Trusts are not only for the wealthy. Many people and families benefit from trusts. Transfer of Assets. When you create a revocable trust, you transfer your assets to your trust. As the grantor and trustee, you retain control over your assets and you gain greater power to direct how and when your beneficiaries receive those assets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bf45c217bffc3b2fc8c537/1552414381638-6WHB9KNKNAHM5TYBCM9Q/adult-affection-beach-936018.jpg Wills and Trusts - WILLS Some people like the simplicity of wills.

Wills are submitted to probate and undergo the court process in your county. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bf45c217bffc3b2fc8c537/1552020666128-2O39S10N7U3O813Q2EYA/adult-affection-facial-expression-1421784.jpg Wills and Trusts - Your Portfolios Our portfolios include legal and practical documents that you will need during your lifetime and which will ease the minds of your loved ones.

Hi! I’m Gregory Berlowitz. I'm a Rogers Park attorney and parent, with an office in Andersonville, and decades-long ties to the community. Since 2018, I've been helping local clients design and build their trusts, wills and estate plans. When I started Everyday Legal, I aimed to prove that effective legal advice didn't need to come from exclusive or expensive downtown offices. I wanted to ensure that everyday Chicagoans could create an estate plan without the high fees and legal jargon that discourage so many people from taking action to protect their assets and family members. Since then, I have helped to demystify the estate planning process for hundreds of clients with fees they could actually afford. Whether you require a complex trust or a simple will, my door is always open.
