We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Is Illinois a free will state?

A simple will is the most basic component of an estate plan. In Chicago, the average cost for a basic will might range from $300 to $1,000. However, a comprehensive estate plan typically includes more than just a will.

Can I write my own will and have it docHubd in Illinois?

Yes. Illinois is an employment at-will state, meaning that an employer or employee may terminate the relationship at any time, without any reason or cause.
