Probate Attorney Consultation
630-576-9994
In Illinois, when someone dies without an estate plan, all property must be transferred under the supervision of a probate judge through a process called probate. Only an attorney can represent you in this case.
If your family member died without a will, you may be wondering:
- Do I really need to go to probate?
- Do I need to pay my loved one’s mortgage?
- Do I need to pay my loved one’s creditors?
- Can I stop family members from “taking” things?
- Can I ensure whoever is living in my loved one’s house takes care of it after they pass?
ACT NOW. Don’t risk losing your loved one’s property or your family home.
If your loved one has recently passed away, you have a very short amount of time before their bills are due. Your loved one’s creditors will make sure to protect their interests, and you should, too.
Everything your loved one has owned and worked for is in the hands of family now. If you’re in charge of handling your loved one’s estate, don’t go through this process alone, or let anyone take advantage of you during this difficult time. Our probate staff can help hold your hand through the probate court process and figure out what the first step should be.
