During the Illinois probate process many disputes can arise. Our St Charles probate litigation attorneys can safeguard yourself and heirs from false inheritance claims during probate court.
Understanding Probate Litigation
When a loved one dies, a probate court usually oversees the process of sorting out the decedent’s estate and ensuring that the instructions in the Will and Trust are upheld.
Your Illinois estate is managed and distributed through a court-managed process called probate or estate administration after you or a loved one passes away. Our St Charles law firm is experienced with the Illinois probate process. We are here to work hard with your loved ones to navigate the estate administration process as efficiently as possible.
What is the Probate Court Process?
Probate is a court-supervised process to distribute assets to beneficiaries after your or a loved one’s death. Any assets owned in your name or made payable to your estate will go through probate.
What to Expect During Probate Litigation?
The process of administering an estate is not always routine or amicable. Families may disagree about distribution plans or even the content of these documents.
Strohschein Law Group uses settlement, mediation, or litigation to help families clarify the terms of a loved one’s Will, Trust, or Powers of Attorney and resolve any disputes over these documents. Our attorneys are experienced in handling claims of Will and Trust contests.
