When aging parents begin to experience health problems or financial difficulties, many adult children assume they will “handle it when the time comes.” Unfortunately, that time often arrives suddenly — after a medical emergency, a diagnosis of dementia, or a fall that sends someone to the hospital. Without a plan in place, families in Yorkville, Minooka, and surrounding Illinois communities may find themselves navigating legal, medical, and financial chaos with no authority to act.
At Gateville Law Firm, our Illinois estate planning attorney can help families create estate plans and advanced healthcare directives. If you are reading this because you have suddenly found yourself caring for a parent who can no longer care for themselves, we can help with that, too.
