What is a Trust?
A trust is a legal arrangement in which a trustee manages assets for chosen beneficiaries. These assets can include property, investments, and bank accounts. Unlike a will, a trust can be effective during your lifetime as well as after your passing. Trusts offer key benefits such as:
- Avoiding probate
- Maintaining privacy
- Protecting assets
- Ensuring your wishes are carried out
Whether you're providing for your family, supporting loved ones with special needs, or reducing complications and taxes, Zapolis & Associates is here to support you every step of the way. If you're ready to set up a trust in Homer Glen, IL, or have any questions, contact us today!

Why Set Up a Trust?
Trusts, especially when used alongside wills, can be highly effective estate planning tools. They streamline the transfer of assets, reduce legal disputes among heirs, and give you control over when and how assets are distributed.
An estate planning attorney can assist by drafting and reviewing documents, offering expert guidance on the right type of trust, and coordinating your trust with your overall estate plan—including wills, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives. As your circumstances change, Zapolis & Associates will be here to help you update your trust and estate plan. If you want to give your loved ones peace of mind, a trust may be the solution you're looking for.
