Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

My first thought is whether anyone has filed a petition to probate your deceased father's will or administer his estate. Can't imagine how you would transfer title validly without doing the same.

Whoever the executor was under the will was supposed to file the will with the court clerk. That's the first thing. Second thing is to open a probate estate because all real estate that passes by will must go through probate. You can give up your rights to your inheritance through the process, or the three of you can agree to take less, or you can move in and keep the place up, maybe even fix it up, etc. and hope for a slightly better market. There are a number of options. If you want to talk about this more please let me know.
