Wills in Illinois — lawyers too expensive!

By Terry Savage on April 13, 2026 | Financial Planning / Retirement

I only caught part of your segment on WGN, we are wondering if we can create our own will in Illinois. It’s ridiculous what an attorney charges, and we have a good template.

Terry Says

It’s ridiculous what a MISTAKE can cost you — and you won’t be around to fix it. Go to legal aid if you must, but definitely use an Illinois attorney to create your estate plan. If you have something to leave to someone you care about, do it the right way!
