Website Powered by Hedeker & Perrelli, Ltd. Gives Illinois Residents a New Way to Get a Last Will

Don’t have a last will? Smarter Will, a website powered by Lincolnshire tax and estate planning firm Hedeker & Perrelli, Ltd., wants you to know that it’s time to grow up and get one.

Smarter Will (www.smarterwill.com) takes the excuses out of getting an Illinois will and Illinois medical directives for those of us who don’t have the time or budget to visit a law firm. All Smarter Will legal documents are reviewed by Hedeker & Perrelli attorneys before they’re delivered. It’s this attorney-review process that makes Smarter Will different from many other leading legal document sites.

“Websites like LegalZoom don’t provide an actual attorney review, which leaves the individual liable,” explains Anthony R. Perrelli, partner at Hedeker & Perrelli and co-founder of Smarter Will along with Dean R. Hedeker. “Smarter Will combines the convenience of an online service while being backed by an actual law firm. It’s the best of both worlds.”

Smarter Will is a leap of faith for the law firm, whose traditional estate planning clientele is predominately high net-worth retirees. The website serves a decidedly younger group of Illinois residents.

“Smarter Will is for those of us around 25 to 50 years old who mistakenly think that having a will and medical directives isn’t necessary,” explains Perrelli. “If you have a spouse, partner, child, parents—or even a pet—that you care deeply about, then these documents could save them a lot of heartbreak.”

Smarter Will is currently available to Illinois residents only. The packages range in price from $85 for a single Medical Directives Pack™ to $200 for a complete Smarter Will Pack™, which includes an Illinois will, living will, and advance medical directives (a healthcare power of attorney, property power of attorney, and HIPAA authorization).

“Our goal with Smarter Will is to take the intimidation factor out of preparing these critical legal documents,” says Hedeker. “Protecting your future and the future of your family is too important to put off. It’s as simple as that.”
