Probate & Estate Administration

ESTATE ADMINISTRATION DUPAGE COUNTY ILLINOIS ATTORNEYS

If you need an attorney to serve as counsel for the executor or personal representative of a probate estate, contact our probate court lawyers. His close attention to the details necessary to wind up the estate can help ensure an efficient handling of the decedent's estate.

Among the services he can perform on behalf of the executor are:

  • Distribution of legacies and bequests as provided under the last will and testament
  • Marshalling the estate's assets and liquidating claims in its favor
  • Sale of real estate as necessary
  • Payment of debts, settlement of claims, and preparation of tax returns
  • Presentation of the final accounting

When necessary, he can also represent the estate in probate litigation involving such claims and challenges to the will as incompetence, undue influence, tampering with the will, or removal of the personal representative. We also advises trustees who might encounter problems from competing interests after the trustor's death.

If you live out of state and the decedent lived and died in the Chicago area, our probate administration lawyers can represent the estate on a remote basis and handle the estate's affairs in DuPage County, Will County, or Cook County. He'll keep you closely advised of developments, and you probably won't need to return to Illinois at any point during the administration of the estate.
