Practice Areas
Probate
Probate is an often inconvenient legal process that occurs after a person’s death. It dictates how assets are divided up and can be a rather lengthy process. How long the probate process takes depends on many different factors – one of the biggest being if a person dies testate or intestate. Testate means there is a valid will in place, while intestate means a person dies without a will or the will is proven invalid.
There are many factors that determine what does and does not pass through probate. An experienced probate lawyer can answer questions about the overall estate value, taxes and debts, and assets placed in trusts. Probate is a complex process that can be made easier with experienced legal advice. Schottler & Associates is the best probate attorney Chicago has to offer. Learn more about probate here.
Real Estate
When selling your home, there are so many things to consider. With such a big purchase can come many opportunities for error. Hiring a real estate attorney can provide you with the expertise you need to make informed decisions during the selling process. Many sellers are hurt by holes in their sell agreements. An experienced real estate attorney can draft and finalize documents that will protect you, the seller, completely. An attorney will also be up to date on all laws and regulations in the state of Illinois in regard to real estate sales and foreclosures.
An experienced real estate attorney can help sellers with financial disputes between themselves and the buyer. When going through the property, things can arise such as repair issues, and having an attorney can help the two parties successfully navigate who will pay for what, fairly. While Illinois doesn’t require a real estate attorney Chicago recommends having one to protect your interests and your investments, and to protect you from the unexpected.

Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy is an intimidating process to go through and is very misunderstood by most. While it seems overwhelming, it was actually created to provide individuals and business owners with a fresh start. If you’ve ruled out all other options, bankruptcy could be right for you.
Schottler & Associates is the best bankruptcy attorney in Chicago. Mark Schotter works with clients to help them file Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases.

Having a valid estate plan can ensure your final wishes are upheld and everyone you want to inherit assets will.
