Estate Planning

Northern Illinois Estate Planning Lawyer

Charles E. Cronauer, Attorney at Law

Whether you have a little or a lot, estate planning is an essential legal need for everyone. And unless you don't mind the government taking what it wants, it is important to start making decisions about your estate today.

At the law office of Charles E. Cronauer, we help families and individuals throughout DeKalb County and the northern Illinois region to plan for the future financial security of both themselves and their loved ones. We have more than 30 years of experience in estate planning and probate matters and can help you to preserve as much of what you've worked for as possible—regardless of how much you have.

Estate planning can be about more than just choosing who gets what, it can be about expressing your values and beliefs…

We offer our clients comprehensive estate planning services ranging from a basic, simple will to sophisticated, asset-preserving trusts. Other services include:

• Wills, living wills
• Elder law concerns
• Medicaid planning
• Powers of attorney for property
• Powers of attorney for health care
• Durable power of attorney / medical directive documents
• Trusts, irrevocable trusts, real estate trusts, special needs trusts, life insurance trusts, grantor retained interest trusts, and many others
• Business succession planning

We will take the time to meet with you and discuss your values and your needs. We'll then help you to express those values concretely by explaining the estate planning tools available to you, helping you to understand how they work, and then providing the necessary services to make them happen.

Take care of your future today.
