Carol Steam Illinois Probate Litigation Attorney

Wills & Trust

Wills and trusts are the foundations of most estate plans. A will is a legal document that specifies your wishes for your assets and your dependents after your death. Upon your death, the will is verified and administered in probate court. This can be a lengthy and sometimes expensive process for your beneficiaries. A trust operates differently than a will. Your assets are assumed by a trust while you are alive and transferred immediately to your named beneficiaries after your death. A trust generally does not go through the probate process. At Handley Law Offices, we have years of experience working with both wills and trusts and litigating disputes that may arise thereafter.

Probate Litigation

Occasionally there is cause for a probate dispute. These disputes can arise when the validity of a will is challenged, property ownership is unresolved or other factors come into question. Robert Handley is a skilled negotiator and litigator, and he has many years of experience representing both claimants and estates in a wide variety of probate disputes.
