When a loved one dies, the process of sorting out their property, assets and debt is known as probate. This can be lengthy and complicated if there is no will or serious issues with the will. It is essential to work with a Chicago Probate Attorney to guide you through the process.
They oversee the management and distribution of property or income from an estate or trust, according to the directions in a deceased person’s Will or trust documents. They can also assist with the settling of outstanding debts and claims against the estate. They have extensive experience in all aspects of trust and estate matters, including tax law and guardianships.
It is not uncommon for disputes to arise during the probate process between family members or other parties involved. These may involve the terms of a will or other estate planning document, the administration of a trust, or allegations of fraud, undue influence or other wrongdoing by fiduciaries. They can resolve these disputes through negotiation or litigation as needed.
