How Gateville Law Firm
Is Different

Skilled Estate Planning Attorneys for Clients in Yorkville, Illinois

MEET SEAN ROBERTSON

At Gateville Law Firm, we believe that estate planning is more than drafting documents. Rather, your estate should reflect your wishes in their entirety with clear, comprehensive language. While many firms hand clients a short, generic trust, we deliver thorough strategies backed by decades of experience.

If you have any concerns about preparing an estate plan, you can reach out to our Yorkville estate planning law firm for legal assistance. We will work diligently to protect your best interests, providing you with the peace of mind you deserve.

The Gold Standard in Trusts and Customized, Thorough Powers of Attorney

Our Revocable Living Trusts are the gold standard - comprehensive, carefully drafted documents that typically exceed seventy pages. They are designed not only to protect and grow wealth, but also to close the critical gaps left by short, generic trusts.

We go beyond the basics of farmland succession, blended family planning, retirement, small business protection, and asset protection by addressing details that simpler documents overlook. The same is true for our powers of attorney: instead of relying on bare-bones statutory forms, we prepare robust powers of attorney that anticipate real-world situations and prevent costly guardianship proceedings. Where other documents fall short, our trusts and powers of attorney provide complete coverage, ensuring that nothing is left to chance.

Every client who works with our firm receives a professionally organized binder and secure digital copies. Beyond presentation, our decades of real estate and title experience make your plan more effective. Real estate is the bedrock of most estates, and you can rely on our experienced firm to make sure that your properties are properly titled, funded, and aligned with your trust.

Highly Qualified Yorkville Attorneys for Real Estate, Businesses, and Trusts

What makes us truly unique is our combination of estate planning, real estate, asset protection, and small business experience. This intersection allows us to formulate comprehensive strategies to secure assets during your lifetime and create smooth transitions at incapacity or death. We will take the time to understand your top priorities, personalizing our strategy to suit your situation.

Empowering Clients With Legal Knowledge in Estate Plans

We believe educated clients are empowered clients. That is why we provide trust review sessions, ongoing resources, and free community seminars in Yorkville and nearby areas. These sessions give families practical tools to avoid probate, protect assets, and preserve wealth.

A Team and Network You Can Rely On

Our specialized staff focuses solely on estate planning and real estate law. As proud members of Wealth Counsel, we use nationally recognized, peer-reviewed drafting tools that are constantly updated to reflect the latest tax regulations and legislative changes.

Each trust is the product of collaboration by multiple attorneys nationwide, filling gaps that single-attorney templates often miss. And because Wealth Counsel is a national network, if life ever takes you to another state - or if we are not available - you will have access to an experienced Wealth Counsel attorney who understands our documents and can seamlessly continue your planning.
