General Legal Services with a Focus on Probate, Cooperative Housing and Estate Planning

Chicagoland law firm provides personal, cost-effective legal services

The law firm of W T Godbolt, Esq., LTD has been providing general legal services, counsel and representation to the residents and small businesses of Cook and Will Counties since its founding in 1997.

A history of helping people by problem solving

Firm principal and sole practitioner W T Godbolt came to the law for the same reason that he had been a technology systems designer and business consultant: to solve problems. Moreover, the Kellogg School of Business MBA graduate — founding member of the Illinois Guardianship Association and former financial officer to several non-profit organizations — enthusiastically demystifies the variety of problems that people and entities must address from a legal perspective, and embraces his commitment to helping clients solve them.

Today, virtually all of his firm’s business comes from client or attorney referrals.

The kind of lawyer you'll want to tell your friends about - particularly, when it comes to Probate, Cooperative Housing and Estate Planning

W T Godbolt, Esq., LTD provides a wide range of legal services, including real estate transactional work and business formation and succession planning counsel. Most of our current work is in the areas of:

Probate - We help you create a Will or Trust, which makes it much easier for others to conclude any unfinished business that you leave behind. And we help them administer your instructions. We also help you with a living will — which provides guidance if you become incapacitated and are unable to make healthcare related decisions. Probate proceedings are on behalf of others, living minors or incapacitated persons, or addressing the unfinished affairs of decedents. We also assist with elder law issues.

 

Cooperative Housing Communities- These communities embrace a special set of mutual responsibilities and challenges. Their success depends on the involvement and contribution of the community members. Perhaps the most democratic model of community, that self determination rights are sacred. They decide who their neighbors will be, and adopt the rules and regulations best suiting the individual communities. But like all human systems, rules apply. This office possesses the resources to guide governing boards and members.Short desription to be added.


Estate Planning - There’s no need to let the courts and Illinois legislature dictate where your assets will go when you pass. We can help you determine where those assets will go while using the IRS code your Estate's advantage.
