CHICAGO, IL, October 08, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ — Kravets Law Group, an Illinois business, real estate, and estate law firm, is offering complimentary estate plan reviews to help individuals and families respond to a wave of recent and pending legal changes affecting how estates are planned, taxed, and administered in Illinois. The firm is accepting new consultations now, with the goal of helping clients enter 2026 with plans that reflect the current legal landscape rather than the one that existed when their documents were last signed.
The past twelve months have brought several developments worth considering. At the federal level, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act permanently set the federal estate tax exemption at $15 million per person beginning January 1, 2026. In Illinois, Public Act 104-0346 raised the small estate affidavit threshold from $100,000 to $150,000 and excluded registered vehicles from the calculation. Several bills pending in the Illinois legislature like the Family Farm Preservation Act could further change the picture for Illinois families. And a set of Illinois Supreme Court Rule amendments effective January 1, 2026 refined the procedural framework that governs probate and trust litigation.
The firm’s estate plan review will cover the core documents most Illinois families have in place, including wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, powers of attorney for property and healthcare, and beneficiary designations on retirement accounts, life insurance policies, and other assets. Reviews focus on whether the existing documents still reflect the client’s wishes, whether they align with current Illinois and federal law, and whether any recent or pending changes create planning opportunities or risks the client should know about.
“Our goal with these estate plan reviews is to give people clarity, not apply pressure,” founding attorney Daniel Kravets shared. “I want people to walk out of the meeting knowing where they stand and what to do next, which is more than most can say about their estate plans.”
Free consultations are available in person and virtually, with scheduling flexibility for clients with demanding work schedules or mobility limitations. Appointments can be booked by phone or through the firm’s website.
