TRUST & ESTATE LITIGATION / GUARDIANSHIP / ELDER LAW

TRUST & ESTATE LITIGATION / GUARDIANSHIP / ELDER LAW Written by Attorney Kerry R. Peck, Peck Ritchey, LLC

WHAT IS ELDER LAW AND SPECIAL NEEDS PLANNING? Elder law covers a wide range of legal services including contested guardianships, wills, estate administration and estate planning including asset protection for long term care. Family members with a special needs child, a relative with mental or physical disabilities need special planning to set up a special needs trust, guardianship and a long term care plan to protect their relative and their assets. YOU ARE SPECIAL! Every family and situation is unique and special. At Peck Ritchey, LLC, our attorneys treat each client and family like our own; unique and special. Our membership in the Chicago Bar Association, the Illinois Bar Association and the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys helps us to stay apprised of current trends and find innovative and compassionate approaches to current legal issues.

PROTECTING OLDER ADULTS Older adults are the crux of our society in the spirit of their wisdom, experience and viability. Too often they are victims of exploitation and estate issues. Unscrupulous individuals look for vulnerable older adults that are in frail health or have cognitive issues. These exploiters often romance for riches, gain access to bank accounts, deeds to homes, titles to cars, etc. Older adults need an advocate who will defend and protect them. I can protect you! As an elder law attorney, I focus on the litigation of trust and estate cases. I am frequently seen in the courthouse-Cook County Courthouse, DuPage County Courthouse, Lake County Courthouse, Kane County Courthouse-representing older adults or family members in the context of trust and estate disputes. In these cases, we want to bring back the funds into the older adult’s estate. Peck Ritchey, LLC’s practice areas also include contested guardianships, wills, estate administration and estate planning. PROTECT YOUR HARD EARNED SAVINGS!
