WE ARE OFTEN INVOLVED IN MULTI-GENERATIONAL ISSUES INVOLVING FARMLAND IN THE SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AND CENTRAL ILLINOIS REGIONS. IT IS NOT UNUSUAL THAT ONE OR MORE CHILDREN CONTINUE WITH FARMING OPERATIONS WHILE OTHER CHILDREN MAY LEAVE THE FARM AND PURSUE THEIR OWN SEPARATE CAREERS AND LIFESTYLES OFF THE FARM. WE HAVE DECADES OF EXPERIENCE REPRESENTING FARM FAMILIES, INCLUDING GRANDPARENTS, PARENTS, CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN IN A WIDE VARIETY OF ESTATE PLANNING ISSUES, AS WELL AS ESTATE ADMINISTRATION AND PROBATE, NOT TO MENTION CONTESTED WILLS, LAWSUITS INVOLVING TRUSTS, DISPUTES AMONG HEIRS AND BENEFICIARIES AND CLAIMS OF BREACHES OF FIDUCIARY DUTY.
