What if the worst should happen?

It is very difficult to commit to think about life's worst case scenarios and take the time to plan for tragedy. Illness and accidents strike the Rockford area every single day; however, because it is much easier to take the approach that "those things do not happen to me," we never take the time to face the tough questions. If you are injured and no longer able to care for yourself, who will be able to make financial decisions for your family? Run your business? Who will make medical decisions for you? Will you be kept alive artificially even though you will never regain consciousness? Will your spouse be able to obtain title to real estate, automobiles, bank accounts, and other assets easily or will there be lengthy court proceedings? Who will care for your children? Will they be sent different places? Are there other questions I should be asking myself about my family's future?

Once you have given these issues some thought, the next question is how you will see your wishes are carried out and what do you need? Some examples are as follows:

Will- a document that can designate guardians for children and the disposition of your assets.
Transfer on Death Instruments- transfers title to real estate immediately upon the owner's death without the need to expensive probate proceedings
Powers of Attorney- allows an agent to sign documents, engage in business, or make medical decisions for you upon the happening of a specified event
Living Will- dictates your wishes regarding end of life decisions including organ donation and artificial prolonging of life

The lawyers of Sreenan & Cain have the expertise necessary to help you prepare for these events by creating the documents necessary to protect your family. Their future should not be left to chance or a form you found online that might not even be correct. A minimal investment will protect your family from having to answer these difficult questions, having to disagree as to what your wishes would have been, and having to drain your estate in expensive and lengthy probate proceedings.

We know you are busy, and we know how easy it is to put something on the back burner and forget about it when something else comes up. In order to help you to commit to call and set up an appointment, mention this entry and, for a limited time only, discounted rates are available for these documents. We look forward to seeing you soon!

With that comes the perilous treks down icy roads, packed with cars whose drivers are texting, eating, sleeping, or anything else other than driving.
