Need an Estate Lawyer?

Illinois does not have an actual probate court, matters of estates are heard at the circuit courts. Regardless of the court, it is still probate. And getting an estate through probate can be an expensive and drawn-out process. When hiring a probate attorney make sure you know all of the fees upfront. These fees can range from a few hundred for simple estates to many thousands for more complicated matters.

There are ways to keep your expenses down, if you do not mind doing some of the work yourself. While an attorney is still recommended there are forms that you could do on your own to save on legal fees.

I just want to thank you for this site. It answered my questions. I think many people that do research on the net take it for granted and when they find what they are looking for they forget "someone put time, money, etc into providing me with this information."

Thank you!
