estate planning

Mantas Law, LLC  provides legal representation to people at all stages of their lives.

We are here to help if you are: 

• Concerned about who will care for your young children if you pass away
• Worried about what happens if you need to go into a nursing home 
• Thinking about what happens after your death
• Worried about an uncertain future

Estate planning involves taking affirmative steps to take control of your own future and to make sure those you care about are cared for after you’re gone. It is never to early or late to make sure you have a plan in place in case of incapacity, illness, old age, or death. While no one likes to think they could ever get sick or pass away, being prepared for these inevitabilities is the smart choice. Proper planning does more than just provide for the transfer of assets at death. We work with our clients to create unique estate and business plans that help them preserve assets and minimize taxes, both during their lives and, often, for many years beyond.

Our attorneys  will work hand-in-hand with you to help you determine your goals and objectives and then work to create a plan that will accomplish your goals. While having a will in place is one strategy to help distribute your wealth and property when the time comes, it is not the  only method available, and it may not be the most beneficial to your situation.

Mantas Law LLC will assist you in determining your objectives in the estate planning process, providing you with alternative approaches to accomplishing your objectives and helping to design a custom plan to meet the stated objectives. A complete estate and business plan may involve not only the execution of wills and trusts but also the establishment of corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships and charitable foundations and the transfer of assets to those entities to implement a plan. We also work closely with family advisors, including accountants, financial planners, stockbrokers, insurance agents and other attorneys to ensure a proper and complete analysis and development of a plan which is tailor-made for our client’s individual needs and concerns.

Our attorneys know that estate planning is about securing peace of mind for you and providing adequate resources for your loved ones. At Mantas Law, LLC , we do not make decisions for you. Instead, our team of estate planning lawyers, will help educate you about the Illinois estate planning process and all the options that are available to help meet your specific needs.

• Wills
