A clear, compassionate Illinois estate planning guide for modern families

Written by Illinois estate planning attorney Cory S. Bagby

What Happens If Something Happens to You?

If your family doesn’t fit the traditional mold, the legal system may not protect the people you care about most.

  • Unmarried partners can be left out
  • Blended families can face conflict
  • Children and caregivers may not be legally recognized
  • Courts—not you—could make critical decisions

Most people assume a will is enough. In many cases, it isn’t.

This Guide Was Written for Families Like Yours

The Chosen Family Estate Plan breaks down complex legal concepts into clear, practical steps—so you can protect your loved ones with confidence.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

  • Avoid probate and keep your family out of court
  • Protect partners, children, and chosen family members
  • Plan for incapacity before it becomes a crisis
  • Use trusts to maintain privacy and control
  • Safeguard assets from long-term care costs

No legal jargon. No overwhelm. Just clarity.

Who This Is For

Blended families navigating complex dynamics
Unmarried or long-term partners
LGBTQ+ couples and families
Parents and caregivers planning ahead
Anyone who wants to protect people—not just paperwork

 If your family is defined by love—not just legal definitions—this guide is for you.
