Kerry Peck & John Williams on WGN Radio

Date: Tuesday, June 29, 2021
Time: 11:35 a.m.

Have you heard about the Britney Spears conservatorship drama? Britney Spears addressed the Court just yesterday to speak out against her conservatorship (read more on this below). There’s been a lot of discussion and confusion surrounding guardianship/conservatorship as it hits mainstream media with popstar Britney Spears (age 39) and actress Nichelle Nichols (age 89) who played Lt. Uhura on Star Trek. How does the process even work and should my family be concerned about it?

Join WGN’s John Williams and Managing Partner Kerry Peck for a discussion on Tuesday at approximately 11:35 a.m. on WGN Radio 720AM.

Romancing for Riches

Date: June 17, 2021
Time: 1:00 – 2:00 p.m.
Location: Zoom – Sponsored by Northbrook Inn Memory Care

We have all heard tales about crime and scams against seniors. There is a phenomenon we are calling “Sex for Signatures”. Aggressive young predators look for seniors who are alone and have monetary resources; they befriend, romance them, isolate them from their families, and then try to take over their bank accounts, cars and property. Examine the signs of financial exploitation; learn what to do if it happens; and explore how guardianship and estate planning can help protect vulnerable older adults.

Dysfunctional Modern Family

Date: June 2, 2021
Time: 1:00 p.m.
Location: Zoom – Sponsored by Elderwerks and Home Care Assistance

The family dynamic on the hit ABC sitcom “Modern Family” can be so outrageous it is funny. But, unfortunately, in our experience, there are certain family issues that are far from funny. For example, when the family is under extreme stress from taking care of an older parent or loved one. In this seminar, Attorney Peck will break down this family dynamic and offer solutions on how to communicate with families dealing with dementia. Dementia will also be addressed in the family system from the court’s perspective, including pre-planning that is available upon a diagnosis of early-stage dementia all the way through guardianship and deciding who is the best person to act as guardian when the family is fighting.

It’s more than reality TV. Hoarding is a common problem, and recently, it has been recognized as a mental health disorder. In addition to the initial shock of the hoards of “stuff” that lie behind a hoarder’s closed doors, what happens when the law steps in? This coversation will review the complete hoarding continuum: various solutions available such as guardianship, professional ethical concerns, housing/landlord issues and legal options to help ensure that relapses do not occur. Learn how an elder law attorney complements the health care team to ensure the disabled person receives the help they need.

Go Fund Me CANNOT Replace Wills, Trusts, and Estate Planning: What You Need to Know to Protect Your Family and Your Assets

Sponsored by The Chicago Bar Association

Date: Thursday, February 18, 2021
Time: 2:00 p.m.
Location: Zoom

While the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we see how it is disparately affecting communities of color and older residents. Many in these communities do not have access to lawyers who can provide information and advice on estate planning.  All too often, families depend on raising money through Go Fund Me to cover expenses related to the sudden death of a loved one.  Go Fund Me is a place for charitable fundraising but should not replace a will or estate plan.

Panelists will provide critical information on how to start estate planning, discuss the various forms of trusts, living wills and power of attorney instruments.  Attendees will learn about preparing for incapacity and healthcare directives, planning for guardianship of minor children, and providing for the care of loved ones.

It is important to have your estate planning affairs in order in any stage of life. Estate plans ensure your family is cared for should a catastrophe strike. Older members of our community often find comfort in knowing a plan is in place should they pass.

Testimonials

Attorney Kyle Fahey handled our matter with skill and professionalism, and was always responsive. 10/10, would work with him and the firm again.

–Jon T.

The peace of mind that Peck Ricthey's office has given me is worth every penny. The services they provided me and my family in an emergency medical situation is beyond outstanding. Last minute notice, Peter Brady and team were compassionate, understanding and most importantly efficient and got the job done. Look no further if you have any needs that this office can provide for you. Definitely in good hands! Thank you, a thousand times over for all of your help.

–Christine K.

Very responsive and knowledgeable at handling our brother’s estate. Would definitely recommend!

–Ralph C.

I solicited Peck Ritchey, LLC for assistance with a living trust for which I became the beneficiary. I needed assistance with understanding the details of how it all worked. However, I was especially concerned because there were threats of allegations made by family members and a lawsuit was filed against me. I needed a solid professional who had my best interests in mind. Peter Brady took my case and he managed it flawlessly. He explained everything in a way I could understand, he knew the law inside and out, he was always available to answer questions, and even offer support when things seemed like they could become extremely problematic. In addition to this, he had a plan. He navigated the course as if he already knew the next move by the opposing attorney. He made me feel like everything was in control and that’s because he knew exactly what he was doing and he consulted with me about everything. We ended up settling out of court and ultimately the court officially dismissed the lawsuit. I honestly believe if it wasn’t for Peter and his expertise this could have gone in an entirely different direction. Peter did a stellar job and I couldn’t be more pleased and impressed with his performance.

–John T.

Tim Ritchey is as smart, honest, and genuine as they come. He truly puts helping people above making money. If you have a need, don’t hesitate to hire him.
