Estate Planning Attorney Steve Fagan

Steven, Jeff and Avi Fagan are three brothers that make up the Estate Planning division of the law firm of Fagan, Fagan & Davis, a Chicago area institution clients have called on since the early '80s. Known for their practical legal insight, calm and compassionate approach, and deep care and understanding of how to protect families, both legally and personally, they help with more than just creating documents such as wills or trusts. To them, estate planning is not just about avoiding probate and saving clients tens of thousands of dollars, the true goal is creating a lasting legacy and peace of mind that can't be bought. Their entire goal is making complex legal matters simple, approachable, and effective.

Why Estate Planning Matters

"At the very moment your family is grieving and dealing with their loss is not the time for them to have to go through a lengthy expensive court process. That process is known as probate. And the number one thing you can do for your family is help them avoid that process." - Steven H. Fagan

  • Avoid costly court proceedings and family disputes
  • Name guardians for minor children
  • Control how assets are distributed
  • Reduce potential tax burdens
  • Protect your assets
  • Plan for incapacity or medical emergencies
  • Ensure your wishes are adhered to
  • Help pass the legacy through probate

At the moment your family is grieving is not the time to face probate. Without an estate plan, the courts, not you, decide who receives your assets, who cares for your children, and how your wishes are carried out.
