Sean Robertson

Sean Robertson is an estate planning attorney in Yorkville, Illinois, where he founded Gateville Law Firm and serves as its CEO. His work addresses both the transfer of family assets and the protection of business and real estate holdings.

Commercial property transactions and work with entrepreneurs form part of Robertson’s background. He has advised business owners and real estate investors on growth and operational challenges. His profile also describes work with families, small businesses and commercial property owners facing creditor pressure during the period it identifies as the 2008–2013 recession. Divorce and family matters account for more than seven years of his experience, including disputes involving custody, child support, spousal maintenance and asset protection.

Wills and living trusts are central to his estate planning work. Robertson’s plans address questions such as how to provide for a blended family, protect a beneficiary’s assets or keep a business operating. Avoiding probate and reducing taxes are among the planning objectives. For seniors, he also addresses the effect of long-term care expenses on savings. His tax and asset-protection background includes Series LLCs, land trusts and holding companies.

Robertson graduated from DePaul University College of Law and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Gateville’s stated practice areas include business succession alongside estate planning, tax strategy and asset protection. The firm’s Yorkville office is at 520 E Kendall Drive, Suite C.
