Manage Your Future by Making Responsible Decisions Today

Trusts and Estates Firm in the Southwest Chicago Suburbs

Upon graduating from law school, attorney Michael Overmann was compelled to enter the field of estate planning after seeing people faced with tough choices and legal complications from the passing of a loved one. He opened the law firm of Michael Overmann, Ltd., in 1999 and dedicated the practice to helping clients accomplish important goals regarding their families and their futures.

At Michael Overmann, Ltd., we help clients in a variety of estate planning and administration matters, including:

• Estate Planning (wills, trusts, living wills, powers of attorney)
• Trust and Estate Settlement (probate administration with or without a will)
• Trust and Estate Litigation (probate, guardianship and fiduciary litigation, will and trust contests)
• Guardianships (disabled adult and disabled minor guardianships)

Why Do I Need an Attorney for Estate Planning?

Some of our potential clients ask us why they should hire a lawyer for their estate planning needs instead of using "do it yourself" forms or computer software that is available. While these forms and computer programs may seem more convenient and less expensive than hiring an attorney, there are many reasons to hire a lawyer to take care of your estate planning needs. An attorney can:

• Ensure validity and quality of documents, including all updates to the estate tax system
• Execute documents correctly, including attestation, witnesses and notaries
• Provide correct Illinois-specific ancillary documents
• Provide professional advice and guidance to answer your questions
• Help you consider other aspects of estate planning, including disability planning, that are not covered by forms or programs
