Integrity, Experience, and Insight in Estate Planning
Pluymert, Piercey, MacDonald & Amato, Ltd. is a northwest suburban Chicago law firm providing estate planning services. Our offices are conveniently located in Hoffman Estates and Des Plaines, Illinois.

The Estate Planning Group offers a broad array of legal services. In addition to preparing wills and trusts tailored to meet our clients' individual needs, we create integrated and individualized plans for each client. We focus on tax planning, business succession planning, and charitable giving.

Our estate plans are customized for each client, including, as client appropriate, the creation of living and testamentary trusts, qualified domestic trusts, qualified personal residence trusts, charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, grantor retained annuity trusts, grandchildren's education trusts, and other irrevocable trusts. Our planning takes into consideration stock options, retirement plans, and life insurance.

To assist our clients in the efficient transfer of wealth from one generation to another, we create family limited liability companies, family corporations, and family limited partnerships. To provide efficient management of financial and personal affairs in the event of disability, each client has properly drafted financial and healthcare powers of attorney as well as a current directive to physicians (living will).

Our practice includes negotiating and preparing prenuptial agreements and community property agreements. On behalf of our charitably inclined clients, we create and help manage private foundations, supporting organizations, and other charitable entities.

Estate planning is about securing peace of mind for you and providing adequate resources for your loved ones. At Pluymert, Piercey, MacDonald & Amato, Ltd., we do not make decisions for you. We educate you about the estate planning process and options; then we work with your financial planner, insurance company, and accountant to assure the decisions you make are carried out.

If you would like to build a partnership with a law firm that provides high quality legal services, with honesty and integrity that is backed by a guarantee, please contact us to set up a free one-hour estate planning consultation.
