Estate planning should not require multiple office visits, stacks of paper, or confusing legal jargon. Meet by Zoom, build your plan collaboratively, review documents together, and sign securely — all from home.

Depends on your goals—let’s figure it out together on a free Zoom call.
All meetings are via Zoom, we prep your documents and collaboratively draft with you and when your documents are perfect, you sign from home with a Mobile notary.
Estate planning costs vary depending on the complexity of your needs, family structure, and assets. Some individuals need only a simple will and powers of attorney, while others benefit from a revocable trust, tax planning, or asset protection strategies.
JPR Law offers transparent flat-fee pricing so clients understand costs upfront. During your consultation, we discuss your goals and recommend the right level of planning.
This depends on you. We can complete an estate plan in anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months. If you are in a hurry or need to take your time, we cater the drafting process to your style.
If you would like to include your family member or your financial advisor in the estate planning, it is easy to have them join a meeting.
You get to schedule your signing with our Mobile Notary partner and a place and time of your choosing. Most clients sign at their home at their kitchen table.

A will and a trust serve different purposes, and many Illinois families benefit from having both. A will directs how assets are distributed after death and allows you to name guardians for minor children. A revocable living trust, however, can help avoid probate, keep your affairs private, and make managing assets easier if you become incapacitated.
At JPR Law, we help clients determine whether a simple will, a trust-based estate plan, or a combination of documents is best for their goals. Our virtual estate planning process makes it easy to create a customized estate plan from anywhere in Illinois.
If you become incapacitated and cannot make decisions for yourself, legal documents such as a durable power of attorney for finances and a healthcare power of attorney allow someone you trust to step in and help.
Without these documents, your loved ones may need to go through a court guardianship proceeding to manage finances or make medical decisions on your behalf.
A complete estate plan typically includes powers of attorney to ensure your wishes are followed and to avoid unnecessary court involvement.

Yes. Estate planning laws vary by state, and moving to Illinois may require updates to your will, trust, powers of attorney, or healthcare documents.
Even if your documents remain technically valid, they may not align with Illinois law or reflect your current wishes.
It is wise to review your estate plan after any major life event, including relocation, marriage, divorce, new children, inheritance, or business ownership changes.
Yes. Rental properties, vacation homes, and investment real estate can often be transferred into a revocable trust.
Placing real estate into a trust may simplify administration, help avoid probate, and allow easier management if you become incapacitated.
If you own multiple properties — especially across multiple states — trust planning can help avoid separate probate cases in each location.
If you die without a will in Illinois, your estate passes according to Illinois intestacy laws. This means the state decides who inherits based on family relationships.
Without a will or trust, you lose control over who inherits your assets, who manages your estate, and who serves as guardian for minor children.
Estate planning ensures your wishes are honored and helps reduce conflict for loved ones.
Most estate plans should be reviewed every three to five years or after major life events. Reasons to update your plan may include:
Regular updates help ensure your documents still reflect your goals and family circumstances.
