Understanding what happens to debt after someone passes is a key part of estate planning, and it's something many families have questions about. Debts don’t automatically go away — in many cases, they’re handled through the probate process and paid from the estate before anything is distributed to beneficiaries.

Our team at McCormick Law Firm works with clients throughout Wheaton to create clear, personalized estate plans that address these kinds of issues upfront. If you're unsure how debt might impact your own estate planning goals, we’re here to help you sort through your options.

This time of year, many new graduates and their families are looking into rental options for the first time. One of the most common parts of a lease is a security deposit, which can quickly become a point of contention between landlords and tenants.

Legal conflicts can arise if both parties are not clear on the amount required, how the deposit will be stored, how a tenant can re-obtain the deposit, and acceptable deductions. It’s important to remember that state laws typically govern how much landlords can collect, how deposits must be returned, and what deductions are allowed.

If you have questions about a security deposit or another renting-related legal concern, give our team a call. We are here to help make sure your rights and interests are protected in any lease.

Subletting is common during the graduation and relocation seasons, since existing tenants often sign yearlong leases but must move out before their leases end. This can make subleasing an attractive option for new graduates, but there are some key legal considerations to be aware of before taking the plunge.

🔹Subletting is not always automatically permitted by every lease. Many leases require written landlord approval before a tenant can sublet. It is best practice to verify that subleasing is permitted before signing any documents.

🔹Even when subletting is allowed, the original tenant often remains legally responsible for rent and potential damages caused by the subtenant, creating tricky legal situations.

If you have questions about a subleasing agreement or another renting concern, give us a call. We are here to help make sure your rights and interests are protected.
