Services
Serving all of Chicagoland, including Cook, DuPage, Will, Kane, Kendall and Lake Counties. There are many legal strategies involved in estate planning, including wills, revocable living trusts, irrevocable trusts, durable powers of attorney, and health care documents. At the Law Offices of Robert J. Varak, new clients often say that they do not have an estate plan.
Being a Naperville asset protection planning attorney involves helping my clients in making prudent decisions today to protect yourself, your business, and your hard-earned assets from loss due to lawsuits, creditors or bankruptcies. This type of legal planning is especially prudent for professionals and business owners, whose personal assets could be at risk due the nature of their employment.
Historically speaking, the federal estate tax is an excise tax levied on the transfer of a person's assets after death. Being involved in Naperville estate planning and being an estate tax lawyer, I can tell you in actuality, it is neither a death tax nor an inheritance tax, but more accurately a transfer tax.
At the Law Office of Robert J. Varak, I encourage and assist the tradition of charitable giving in Illinois. In addition to the many personal rewards inherent in making a charitable gift, most gifts also provide a current charitable income tax deduction. Some charitable giving strategies also save capital gains taxes, increase income, and provide you, or whomever you designate, with an income for life.
Special Needs Planning focuses on providing for the special needs of our loved ones with disabilities when we are no longer there to organize and advocate on their behalf. Parents of children with special needs must make careful estate planning choices to coordinate all of the legal, financial, and special care needs of their children - both now and in the future.

My experience with Rob exceeded all of my expectations. He made the estate planning process fast and easy. He explained everything in detail and outlined the steps to execute the plan in writing. We did everything online, and his turnaround time was impressive. Most importantly, Rob is a person of impeccable integrity who handles tough, end of life issues with empathy and grace. It is a joy to work with Rob.

He made the planning very convenient by offering multiple options of where to meet. I like that he was able to come to my home in the evening after my kids were in bed. He was easy to talk to, easy to ask questions, and very thorough. I like that he is also basically on call for any changes we may need down the road.

Robert is very knowledgeable and passionate about estate planning, particularly special needs trusts. He took the time to explain the process and helped us to weigh options. His professional and friendly demeanor was most appreciated. We would highly recommend his services and encourage people to set up with estate plans sooner rather than later.

The Law Offices of Robert Varak is one I highly recommend, especially if you need a will or estate planning. He helped my husband and me to get our will in order, something we had been putting off for a long time. Rob is highly skilled and, most importantly, he is a man of compassion. He understood what we were going through and made us feel as if we were his only clients! Please consider Rob Varak for any of your estate planning needs.
