How We Are Different
A Plan That Works to Keep Your Loved Ones Out of Court and Out of Conflict
​​
Our Firm Prepares You for Life ​
At Kaplan Estate Law LLC, we were built with the needs of growing families in mind. We understand you are busy building a life of prosperity — raising children, supporting elderly parents, growing your career, and planning for a strong financial future. You want ease, convenience, and confidence that your estate plan will protect the people and the assets you love most.
​
Our firm is here to help you make thoughtful, informed decisions about your family’s future. Whether it's ensuring your minor children would be raised by the guardians you choose, or preparing your adult children to manage what you leave behind, our goal is to create a plan that works when your family needs it most.
​
We believe estate planning is not just about creating documents — it’s about making sure your plan works over time, evolves with your life, and protects your loved ones from unnecessary court proceedings and conflict.
Our Team is Here for You
We’ve developed a relationship-based, client-centered approach that brings the level of care and personal attention once reserved for the ultra-wealthy to families across Chicago and beyond. Our process helps you protect everything you’ve worked so hard to build — and ensures your estate plan stays up-to-date as your family, assets, and the law change over time.
​
Whether you’ve worked with a traditional estate planning lawyer in the past or started with online documents, we can help you create a plan that gives you true peace of mind.
​
Communication is a cornerstone of our service. We don’t bill by the hour — all of our fees are flat and agreed upon in advance, so you can call us anytime with questions without worrying about unexpected invoices.
​
If you need more in-depth advice, we’ll schedule a dedicated time to connect so your questions are fully answered and your concerns are addressed with care and efficiency. We’re here to make sure your plan not only gets created — but also works the way you intend it to.

We Help You Transfer your "Family Wealth"​
At Kaplan Estate Law LLC, we believe your financial assets are only a small part of your true legacy. Your family wealth includes your values, life lessons, stories, and personal experiences — the assets that your loved ones will treasure most.
​
Sadly, many families lose these priceless pieces of legacy simply because no one thought to capture them. Most traditional estate plans focus only on money, overlooking the intellectual, spiritual, and human assets that truly define who you are.
​
That’s why every plan we create includes a process for preserving these intangible but invaluable parts of your legacy. Imagine leaving behind not just a financial inheritance, but a complete legacy that truly reflects your life, your love, and your values.
​
We use unique tools to help you capture and pass on these assets to the next generation — ensuring your true wealth lives on.
Let's Build Your Legacy Together​
​
If you’re ready to protect your family and your future with a personalized estate plan, we invite you to book a Life & Legacy Planning Session with us today. During this session, we'll walk through everything you own, everything you love, and everything you want to protect — and create a plan to make it happen.
​
Our office is located conveniently in Lincoln Square, and we proudly serve families throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.
​
We look forward to meeting you — and helping you create a plan that works today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.
​
P.S. If you're wondering about cost, the truth is: thoughtful planning costs far less than the financial and emotional burden your family would face if you didn’t plan properly. We offer flexible, creative financing options so you can put this essential protection in place without stress or delay.
