Trusts can serve a variety of purposes. They can help you protect certain assets from the probate process, provide for a loved one with special needs and minimize your tax burden. Illinois trust law underwent a major change in 2020, so even if you had a trust created prior to 2020, you may want to revisit your document with one of our attorneys.
