At the law office of Manetti & Griffith, Ltd., in Westmont, Illinois, we provide effective estate planning representation as part of our comprehensive asset protection services.

Attorney Leonard DeFranco, one of our leading attorneys in our estate planning practice, is well-versed in the tax consequences of estate planning. In addition to decades of experience handling estate planning matters, he also has a master's degree (L.L.M.) in taxation. He can help you understand the tax consequences any decisions you make pertaining to your estate plan, and can help you reduce the tax burden on your estate.

A complete estate plan may incorporate a variety of legal instruments:

• Last will and testament
• Trusts (including Illinois trusts, Delaware trusts, or Alaska trusts as appropriate)
• Durable power of attorney
• Health care proxy
• Living wills

Ultimately though, the need for any individual instrument depends largely upon your personal circumstances. When you bring your estate planning concerns to our office, we will take the time to listen to your concerns, and develop an estate plan that is tailored to meet your individual needs.
