Chicago Probate Law Attorney
When a close relative or friend dies there are several important legal matters that need to be addressed, including the administration of the deceased's property and debts. Probate is the process whereby a court supervises the transfer of assets from the deceased person to his or her heirs. The probate process is not easy and requires the filing of complicated legal documents.

Illinois Will Contest Attorney
We also help claims against the estate regarding will contests. Relatives and friends contest a loved one's will for a number of reasons. Often there is a claim that the deceased lacked the capacity to make, there is a change in the will or he or she was the victim of undue influence. Other times, there are claims that the will lacked the procedural formalities to make it valid. If your loved one's will is being contested or you believe that the will should be contested, contact our experienced probate lawyer.
