Don't let the state decide your legacy! Millions of people pass away without a plan, leaving their assets in the hands of the state. If you're in Illinois or Missouri, the stakes are even higher!

Without an estate plan, you lose control over who inherits your property. The state steps in and your assets are distributed according to the "intestate succession" laws. This might mean your hard-earned wealth goes to distant relatives or even ends up in the state’s coffers, not to the loved ones or causes you cared about the most.

In both Illinois and Missouri, your spouse receives the first $20,000 of your property and one-half the remainder. The rest is divided amongst your children. But what if you're unmarried or childless? What if you wanted your spouse to have more, or everything? Dying without a plan robs you of that choice. Your assets could end up dispersed among distant relatives you barely know.

Don't leave the future of your assets to chance! It's time to take control. Creating an estate plan not only secures your legacy, but it also prevents potential disputes and legal battles.

Don't wait until it's too late! Ensure your loved ones are taken care of and your wishes are respected. Remember, it's not just about wealth; it's about leaving a legacy on your own terms. Call now: 618-659-4499!
