Top Five Reasons to Plan Your Estate Today
Meet Our Founder

I am Attorney and Certified Financial Planner, Marc Gugliuzza, and I am passionate about wealth formation and estate planning.  We all need to plan for the future and the time to start is now!  Failing to plan can end up costing you and your family thousands of dollars and create frustration and confusion for those you love.  In my nearly 20 years of legal practice, I found that for most people estate planning is easy.  They essentially need standard forms customized to their needs and then expert advice on how to use the documents.  For these clients, I founded AvoidProbate, LLC which is a document services company that works closely with a local law firm when needed. AvoidProbate offers flat-fee estate plans that allow you to add attorney assistance (for a fee) when needed.  For other clients, estate planning is much more complicated either because of the size of the estate or because of the unique nature of the assets and/or beneficiaries.  For these clients, I founded Gugliuzza Law, P.C. which is a full-service law firm offering straightforward and honest hourly billing.  To help determine which option is best for you, please click here or give us a call at 708-497-6294 opt. 1 to schedule your free discovery call.

Our Process

Intake

Depending on which company you work with, we will either send you online forms to complete or you can schedule a meeting with a licensed attorney to go through the intake process with you.

Review

Once the intake is done, we will prepare drafts of your documents and send them to you for review. You can either email us any questions or changes you have, or we can schedule a meeting.

Execute

Once the drafts are approved, the next step is to sign the documents and discuss next steps.  Documents can either be signed remotely or signed with an attorney at our office (additional fee applies).

Follow-Up

Once a trust is established, it needs to be "funded" with assets.  Through our two companies, we offer continuous support to our clients and customers with online tools and attorney assistance.
