The first thing we do at the Law Office of Peter B. Canalia is develop a thorough understanding of you, your family, and your goals and intentions for your future and your estate. Attorney Peter B. Canalia or attorney David G. Clark will conduct an initial interview with you, follow up with another meeting after delivering the requested documents and, along with our staff, provide all the help you need in understanding your estate plan, the funding process, and other legal issues. We take pride in the final product we provide our clients and strive to ensure the highest quality. Our focus on estate planning has allowed us to build extensive knowledge of even the most intricate financial and personal matters. Some of the issues we handle for clients include:

Probate Administration

In Illinois, it will be necessary for your family to go through the probate process if you do not have a will, if you die owning real estate in your name alone, or if you have assets in your name alone that exceed $100,000. (This includes insurance proceeds payable to your estate.) In Indiana, the same is true except the amount of assets is only $50,000. We are extremely knowledgeable about probate in both states and do our best to assist you in avoiding the probate process, if possible.

If you plan ahead, our firm is accomplished at helping clients structure their estates in order to arrange for their heirs to avoid probate altogether.

If probate is required, we will assist you through the process as expeditiously and economically as possible.

We can arrange flexible appointment times and make home, hospital, or nursing home visits in the event you cannot travel to our offices.
