Re: heir property

You need to determine the laws of Illinois for serving as a personal representative. Real property must be probated in the state where the property exists. I am a Maryland attorney.

Most states have a residency requirement for a PR and this is intended to ensure that there will be expediency with the process. Bonding will likely be needed and a nominal fee typically applies. Your interest can be represented as a Maryland resident. Contact an attorney for assistance.
