The Heartland Law Firm

The Heartland Law Firm serves individuals and families in Glenview and the greater Chicago area who need guidance with estate planning and legal transitions. The firm says it has worked in the region since 2000 and handles probate, wills and trusts, elder law, real estate closings, and business succession.

In estate planning, the team prepares wills and trusts tailored to each client’s circumstances and helps review documents as family needs change. The firm also offers consultations to organize goals, physical property, and digital assets. Its process is described as educational: it aims to explain options and next steps in clear language before moving forward.

When a family faces probate, the firm handles probate matters, trust administration, and related court proceedings. Its website describes support for heirs and fiduciaries as they understand procedures, manage assets, and address issues that arise after a death. Each matter depends on the circumstances and the rules that apply in Illinois.

The elder law practice addresses legal and family decisions related to care, incapacity, and changes in daily life. The Heartland Law Firm describes help with family care planning, guardianship, and matters involving Medicaid and veterans’ benefits. It also runs ElderSmart, an advocacy and support program for families caring for an older adult.

For business owners and property clients, the practice includes business transitions, succession planning, and real estate closings. Business planning can cover leadership and ownership transfers, buy-sell agreements, and how company assets fit into an owner’s estate plan. The firm also offers educational resources and consultations around these decisions.

The Freedom Plan is the firm’s self-paced process for helping clients understand planning options and move forward at their own speed. The firm also publishes webinars and articles about probate, wills, trusts, and elder care. These resources are part of its approach to explaining legal processes before an individual consultation.

The office is at 1545 Waukegan Road, Suite 1-3, in Glenview. The firm lists in-person appointments from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and phone support around the clock. Initial contact can be made through a form summarizing the situation; the team reviews the inquiry and may arrange an introductory call.
