FANTASTIC RESULT! WE REPRESENTED A WIFE WHO WORKED WITH HER HUSBAND IN THE SAME BUSINESS FOR OVER SIXTY YEARS, IN REGARD TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF HER HUSBAND’S ESTATE. THEY HAD NO CHILDREN AND THE HUSBAND ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE THE ENTIRE CORPUS TO DISTANT RELATIVES WHILE GIVING HIS SPOUSE A RELATIVELY MODEST INCOME INTEREST DURING HER LIFETIME. WITHOUT A TRIAL, THROUGH A MEDIATED SETTLEMENT, THE WIFE RECEIVED IN EXCESS OF $10,000,000.00 AND SHE THEN LEFT MILLIONS TO HER NIECES, NEPHEWS, A HANDYMAN AND OTHERS. ESTATE DISPUTE, WILL, TRUST, AND POWER OF ATTORNEY LAW FIRM, WILL LAWSUIT, TRUST LITIGATION, PROBATE ATTORNEYS AVAILABLE TO REPRESENT CLIENTS FROM THE BLOOMINGTON, MCLEAN COUNTY, ILLINOIS AREA.
THE RESOLUTION OF THIS CASE INVOLVED SEVERAL LAW FIRMS IN THE METRO EAST AREA, INCLUDING LOCATED IN ILLINOIS AND MISSOURI. THE CLIENTS HAD ACCUMULATED ENORMOUS WEALTH BY WORKING VERY HARD FOR MORE THAN SIXTY YEARS, BEING FRUGAL WITH THEIR EXPENDITURES AND BASICALLY LEADING LONG LIVES. THEY HAD INVESTED HEAVILY IN FARMLAND AND THE FARMLAND HAD INCREASED SUBSTANTIALLY IN VALUE OVER A PERIOD OF DECADES. THEY HAD NO CHILDREN AND DID NOT HAVE ANY CHARITABLE INTERESTS. THEY MADE NO SUBSTANTIAL GIFTS DURING THE COURSE OF THEIR LIFETIME. IN REGARD TO THE ESTATE PLAN OF THE HUSBAND, HE HAD A TRUST BUT DID NOT IDENTIFY HIS WIFE AS THE TRUSTEE UPON HIS DEATH. WE HAVE DECADES OF EXPERIENCE PROVIDING REPRESENTATION IN REGARD TO TRUST LAWSUITS, WILL CONTESTS, ESTATE LITIGATION AND RELATED CONTROVERSIES.
