THE RESOLUTION OF THIS CASE INVOLVED SEVERAL LAW FIRMS IN THE METRO EAST AREA, INCLUDING LOCATED IN ILLINOIS AND MISSOURI. THE CLIENTS HAD ACCUMULATED ENORMOUS WEALTH BY WORKING VERY HARD FOR MORE THAN SIXTY YEARS, BEING FRUGAL WITH THEIR EXPENDITURES AND BASICALLY LEADING LONG LIVES. THEY HAD INVESTED HEAVILY IN FARMLAND AND THE FARMLAND HAD INCREASED SUBSTANTIALLY IN VALUE OVER A PERIOD OF DECADES. THEY HAD NO CHILDREN AND DID NOT HAVE ANY CHARITABLE INTERESTS. THEY MADE NO SUBSTANTIAL GIFTS DURING THE COURSE OF THEIR LIFETIME. IN REGARD TO THE ESTATE PLAN OF THE HUSBAND, HE HAD A TRUST BUT DID NOT IDENTIFY HIS WIFE AS THE TRUSTEE UPON HIS DEATH. WE HAVE DECADES OF EXPERIENCE PROVIDING REPRESENTATION IN REGARD TO TRUST LAWSUITS, WILL CONTESTS, ESTATE LITIGATION AND RELATED CONTROVERSIES.
