    Episode #20: Illinois Health Care Power of Attorney for Young Adults

    Episode #20: The episode provides an in-depth look at why obtaining a Health Care Power of Attorney (POA-HC) is important for adults in Illinois, even those as young as thirty.

    Episode #19: What Business Owners Need to Know about Buy-Sell Agreements and Life Insurance

    Episode #19 – This episode discusses the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Connelly v. United States, which significantly impacts how buy-sell agreements and corporate-owned life insurance are viewed for federal estate tax purposes. The core of the ruling is that life insurance proceeds payable to a corporation, even if earmarked for stock redemption, are considered corporate assets and increase the company’s valuation, subsequently raising the deceased shareholder’s estate tax liability. This means a redemption obligation does not offset the increase in value from the insurance proceeds. The article emphasizes that business owners must re-evaluate their buy-sell agreement structures, particularly regarding […]

    Episode #16: Silent Strain, New Law: How Illinois is Redefining Non-Emergency Fire Calls

    Episode #16: This podcast episode  introduces a new Illinois law, effective January 1, 2026, concerning lift-assist calls to assisted living and nursing home facilities. A lift-assist is defined as a non-emergency service where firefighters help residents move from one position to another without requiring hospital transport. The law, Public Act 104-57, was enacted because frequent non-emergency calls strain fire district resources, potentially diverting personnel and equipment from actual emergencies. Under this new regulation, facilities will receive six free lift-assist calls per calendar year, but subsequent calls will incur a reasonable fee designed to cover the fire district’s actual costs for […]
