The passing of a family member can be a painful experience when the matter of the dividing of the estate comes into consideration. Believe me, I know this. My family situation became so challenging that I had to turn to an alternative place for legal advice on estate trust and litigation.
What happened in my case was that my father passed away in Chicago, but, even though I was next of kin, and thus responsible for his affairs under Illinois law, he and I had not talked prior to that year but once in 5 years or so – and maybe twice in the 15 years before that.
Over that time, he remarried, gained three daughters, and then another ex-wife when he and his second spouse split. By the time we reconnected, he was battling prostate cancer and a mild case of alzheimers as well. (You’d never know it to see him.)
At any rate, getting trustworthy information on his insurance and debts from his ex-wife was a chore to say the least. After not understanding why she was so intent on keeping information from me, I did not know what to do or who to turn to.
That’s when I found out about Boyes and Farina.
Boyes and Farina helped me by giving me great and effective legal advice on our estate trust and litigation problem. Sadly, what I had to do in turning to them, let alone any lawyer, caused a rift with the family. But the honest fact was they weren’t really on my side to start with, and taking lBoyes and Farina’s advice was the best thing I could have done under the circumstances.
What I learned was that matters of estate trust and litigation aren’t pretty and the simple fact that the word “litigation” is involved means there’s a problem. You’re going to need the best legal experts, so hire Boyes and Farina.
