About Anthony
Biography
Anthony R. Perrelli is partner at Hedeker & Perrelli, Ltd., where he has provided his legal expertise since 2005. Anthony specializes in estate planning, estate administration, and business and tax law. He helps hundreds of families and businesses plan and preserve their legacies.
Anthony has a Bachelor’s degree in accounting and an MBA with a finance concentration from Dominican University. He attended John Marshall Law School, where he earned his Juris Doctor in 2004. He is licensed to practice law in Illinois and is a member of the Chicago Bar Association, the American Bar Association, and the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys.
As an accomplished speaker, Anthony has led numerous estate planning seminars for individuals and businesses covering best practices in estate planning, living wills, and asset protection. He has been featured by Money Magazine, WGN News, WLS Chicago, and more.
The Chicago-area tax and estate planning firm Hedeker & Perrelli, Ltd. powers online legal document website Smarter Will which takes the excuses out of getting an Illinois will and Illinois medical directives for those of us who don’t have the time or budget to visit a law firm. All Smarter Will legal documents are reviewed by Hedeker & Perrelli attorneys before they’re delivered. It’s this attorney-review process that makes Smarter Will different from other leading legal document sites.
Most recently Anthony co-authored the book CUT YOUR TAX IN 2010 which provides the straight talk on why poor estate and retirement planning can cost you dearly. Plus, the book provides insights on the capital gains trap, the tax benefits of living trusts, and other tax-saving tips. Many of the techniques discussed are the building blocks of a good estate plan. Without an estate plan, you’re paying too much in taxes on your assets right now. And your family will pay dearly—maybe even more than they can afford—after you’re gone. To learn more about this book go to
