Catch Kerry Peck on WGN today - approximately 11:10 am CST!
Last week Kerry Peck and John Williams spoke about disagreements and disputes within the family when it comes to estate planning and the courtroom dramas. It's a stunning epidemic that destroys families and unfortunately usually revolves around money, greed and revenge. To make matters worse, the stress of the pandemic and potential economic uncertainty may be contributing to bad decisions made by loved ones.
Tune in to WGN Radio on Monday, February 8th at approximately 11:10 a.m. as Kerry and John take calls from listeners to hear their concerns regarding elder law, estate planning issues, and trust and estate litigation.

Peck Ritchey is proud to have honorees on the list of Super Lawyers and Rising Stars year after year!
The selection process for Super Lawyers involves nominations, independent research evaluation based on 12 separate indicators of professional achievement and peer recognition, peer evaluation, and then final selection. While up to five percent of the lawyers in the state are named to Super Lawyers, no more than 2.5 percent are named to the Rising Stars list.
While Prince's untimely passing in 2016 was shocking, the star's lack of an estate plan was unbelievable. Years later, there's no end in sight for the probate proceedings. What does that mean for his estate? So far they've spent tens of millions of dollars from his estate on lawyers, consultants, etc., something that could've been avoided with pre-planning.
Most of us will never know that level of wealth, but we understand the value in making sure things go where intended. Not having a will, no matter the size of your estate, is a costly mistake.
If you're concerned about what will happen to your estate, no matter the size, upon your passing, Peck Ritchey can help!

IRS says Prince's estate undervalued by 50%, triggering another dispute in settlement
"According to a 2020 Caring.com survey, only 16.4% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 34 and 27.2% of Americans between the ages of 35 and 54 have estate-planning documents."
"...if new parents donโt appoint a guardian in a legally binding will, a judge could ultimately decide who will raise their children in the event that the parents pass away before the children reach the age of majority."
These are both very scary statements. Protecting your family is the best gift there is. We can help.
