Estate Planning & Probate Attorneys in Northwest Indiana
Protecting Your Legacy and Loved Ones
Creating a well-structured estate plan ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes and that your family avoids unnecessary stress later. Todd Uzelac Law provides comprehensive estate planning services to individuals and families throughout Merrillville, Lowell, Cedar Lake, Hebron, Demotte, and all of Northwest Indiana. With our approachable, detail-oriented guidance, clients gain peace of mind knowing that their estate, property, and loved ones are protected through thoughtful planning and proper legal documentation.
A will outlines how your property is distributed, while a power of attorney ensures someone you trust can act on your behalf if you cannot. We draft and update both documents to meet Indiana’s legal requirements.
Trusts (Revocable, Irrevocable, Special Needs)
Trusts can help families avoid probate, manage assets efficiently, and provide long-term care for loved ones. Whether you need a living trust or a special needs trust, we can tailor a plan to your goals.
For business owners, passing on leadership and ownership takes careful coordination. Our firm integrates business succession with personal estate planning to protect both family and enterprise.
