Estate Attorneys In Chicago, Peck Bloom, Sponsoring Retrial Of Mary Todd Lincoln

CHICAGO, IL --Peck Bloom, a firm that can help clients with elder law in Chicago, is sponsoring the 'Retrial of Mary Todd Lincoln.' The event takes place on September 24, 2012 and will demonstrate how differently Mary Todd Lincoln's insanity trial might have been if she had access to today's experts.

In addition to the trial, the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum and the Supreme Court Historic Preservation Commission hosted a symposium and roundtable discussion on Mary Todd Lincoln's alleged insanity and how she was treated according to the law at the time. The transcript of this discussion will be preserved for the official record for the upcoming insanity hearing.

Kerry Peck, managing partner and one of the estate attorneys in Chicago at Peck Bloom, served as the co-chair for the symposium's mental health committee. Peck spoke on guardianship and the probate process for people who do not have the mental capacity to make decisions for themselves.

"While we can't actually change history, it's possible to re-enact the trial by today's standards. There's some controversy within the history books as to whether Mary Todd Lincoln was actually insane or if she was just railroaded by an over-eager son. If you're interested in seeing history play out in a modern day setting, make arrangements to attend the trial of Mary Todd Lincoln," said Peck, managing partner of Peck Bloom LLC (http://www.peckbloom.com).

Peck Bloom can help families plan for the future. Some of the firm's services include estate planning, asset protection, administration of estates, trusts, guardianships, planning for Alzheimer's disease and litigation attorney services. The firm is a recognized leader in the Chicago legal community and its lawyers have been asked to rewrite the Elder Abuse and Neglect Act for the City of Chicago's Department on Aging and have been asked to speak to the Illinois Institute Continuing Legal Education regarding probate, estate planning and guardianship issues.

"We know how difficult it can be to plan for the future. Whether you need to contest a guardianship or you need to plan for your own care as you age, we can help. We take the time to go over your specific situation and we know that there's no one size fits all approach to aging. If you're interested in safeguarding your future, give us a call and let us show you how we can help," said Peck.
