  • Government Cuts Affect Nursing Homes
    Posted in our blog on December 7th, 2011

Lizette Sundvick targets this concern that appeared in this article: “Medicare Cuts Could Up Nursing Home Costs” SmartMoney.

About the Skokie Illinois Estate Planning Lawyer
Gregory P. Turza, J.D. practices exclusively in the area of estate planning, post mortem estate administration, and elder law. He has been helping people plan their estates for almost 30 years. He provides practical and effective answers to complex problems with explanations that are clear, cogent, and accurate.

Mr. Turza has helped his clients gain peace of mind in knowing that they have control over their affairs, that their families will be taken care of in the event of disability or death, and that their estates will be administered without unnecessary delay, taxes, or administrative expenses. Mr. Turza believes that an estate plan should not only be technically correct, but it should be clear and understandable, so that the client feels "at home" with it, and also so that surviving family members find themselves in harmony instead of in court. To achieve this result Mr. Turza creates plans that fit each client's own unique financial, personal and family circumstances.

Mr. Turza's service really helped me. He finished this task within 2 months, which I thought would take a year or so. From the very beginning he was very confident about what he was promising and finally he did it what was promised at the beginning of this matter.

My wife's life insurance claim was turned down by insurance company and I was asked to open a probate. But Mr. Turza pursued the insurance company to pay full benefits within 2 months without opening probate.

He even guided me about gift tax even after we finished our business.

He was very prompt in returning my every call and addressing each query.

I am completely satisfied with his work and would definitely recommend Mr. Turza's service to anyone who is looking for estate service.
