Illinois Probate Attorney
When a loved one passes away, their estate must go through a legal process before assets can be transferred to heirs. In Illinois, that process is called probate. It can be confusing and time consuming, especially when real estate or a foreclosure is involved. Kyle & Kyle Law is here to help you navigate it.
How Illinois Probate Works
In Illinois, probate is the court supervised process of administering a deceased person's estate. This includes identifying assets, notifying creditors, paying debts, and distributing what remains to the rightful heirs. Illinois law provides a simplified process for small estates that fall below a certain threshold, which may allow heirs to transfer assets without a full probate proceeding. For larger estates or those involving real property, a formal probate case is typically required.
Probate and Foreclosure
If your loved one owned a home that is now in foreclosure, probate and foreclosure defense must be handled together. The estate must be properly opened before an attorney can appear in the foreclosure case on behalf of the heirs. Kyle & Kyle Law handles both. We represent heirs and estate administrators in Illinois probate proceedings and in the underlying foreclosure litigation.
