Estate planning and Deficit Reduction Act

The State of Illinois is proposing rules to implement the federal Deficit Reduction Act. If you do any estate planning at all, you need to click on the August 13, 2010 Flinn Report here and review the Department of Health and Family Services proposed rules. HFS has scheduled a hearing in Chicago on September 13 to take testimony before the proposed rules are submitted to JCAR (Joint Committee on Administrative Rules) for JCAR's approval.
