Answers For Cook County Clients
Where is probate handled in Chicago
Most city estates are filed at the Daley Center Probate Division. We prepare the petition, appear as needed, and move your case forward. You will know what happens next at every step.
Do you help with condo resales and associations
Yes, we review budgets, rules, and disclosures for Chicago and suburban associations. We explain reserves, special assessments, and house rules in plain English. Buyers and sellers avoid last-minute surprises.
Can you coordinate a closing downtown and one party remote
We routinely coordinate hybrid closings. Documents can be pre-signed when appropriate, and funds confirmed by wire. We keep the timeline organized.
Do you draft living trusts for privacy
Many Cook County clients prefer trust-based plans to avoid public filings. We align deeds and beneficiary designations with your trust. The plan fits your goals without extra complexity.
Are virtual meetings available for busy schedules
Absolutely. Phone and Zoom work well for contract and estate plan reviews. We also meet near transit-friendly locations when in-person is best.
