Without a Plan, Your Family Could Face Conflict, Delay, and Financial Uncertainty

Estate planning isn’t just about paperwork—it’s about protecting the people you love. Without clear legal guidance, your family may be left navigating probate court, paying unnecessary taxes, or facing emotional disputes. The absence of a plan often creates more stress, not less. Without a plan, the risks are real—and these are just a few of the consequences:

  • Family Disputes
  • Probate Delays
  • Costly Taxes
  • Lost Wishes
  • Legal Confusion
  • Stress & Anxiety

In Their Words

Rated 5 out of 5
Estate planning decisions are not among our favorite thoughts or things to do so we kept putting this off. If we had known how easy Fred and his staff made this process, we would not have procrastinated. Fred listened to all of our thoughts and then devised the best plan for us. A few email exchanges and two total trips to his office later, our needs were handled. Our minds rest easier knowing this has been handled.

What our clients are saying

Rated 5 out of 5
Recently, my daughter received a court summons regarding her property. Because we did not understand the complete issue or the terminology used in the summons. We set up an appointment with Fred Vilbig. [He] took his time talking with us to ensure we completely understood the summons and what needed to be done and told us he could handle the situation for us. We asked him to do so. Within a few days Fred sent us a follow-up email outlining what action he had taken and everything was handled.
