Helping Clients Recover Their Assets in Estate Matters in Kane and Cook Counties
Without proper protections in place, the mismanagement of estate assets isn’t always apparent right away. In fact, improper asset management is found only after the death of the estate owner in some cases. Our asset recovery lawyers are ready to act on behalf of your elder relative immediately. We utilize effective strategies such as issuing citations to recover or locate assets. To that end, this process enables us to:
- Track down and account for all assets included in an Estate
- Review all pertinent documentation and data related to the Estate
- Communicate with financial professionals familiar with the Estate
- Take measures to prevent further removal of property from the Estate
We utilize citations to identify and return property to the client’s estate. Additionally, this provides a way to investigate income sources and existing property of the person accused of improper asset allocation. Undoubtedly, this serves to get effective results for our clients.

Some of the ways in which estate planning and asset protection helps include:
-Implement a will with an asset protection trust that protects your surviving spouse and other beneficiaries.
-Help parents or grandparents identify the guardian of minor or disabled children or grandchildren. This ensures designation of a trusted attorney-in-fact to make financial and medical decisions if you are unable.
-Confirm that your personal choices for health care matters are followed in the event you face incapacitation.
-Avoid unnecessary guardianships.
-Designates a personal representative to oversee the settlement and distribution of your estate when you pass away.
