Exhibit A
Estate Planning work in Chicago
Chicago carries a steady flow of estate planning searches because the city and its suburbs hold a large population of homeowners, small business owners and families with property to pass on. The searches come in plain language: wills, trusts, probate, powers of attorney, guardianship. Cook County probate is a subject people search by name, and so is the difference between a will and a trust. The firms competing for that demand range from solo attorneys and small owner operated practices in the neighbourhoods to larger firms downtown and in the suburbs. Paid search on the main terms carries a real cost per click, which tells you the demand has commercial value to the practices bidding on it. The searches spread across the city rather than sitting in one district, and they follow the county lines people live inside.
