Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

If you have a written document granting you rights, like a rental agreement, then your aunt cannot make you leave as long as the agreement is in force.

If there is no written agreement, your Aunt will need to give you proper notice before she can start eviction proceedings.

The terms "great aunt" and "aunt" are not clear enough. Because if they are not mother and daughter, then if you are related by blood to your "great aunt" but your "aunt" is not, you may an heir to the estate of your "great aunt" if she dies without a will because direct descendents come before collateral ones under Illinois law. Otherwise, your "aunt" may be next in line to inherit and then you're back to what the other attorneys above said. SO at the very least it would pay for you to be very clear about the relationships going on here.
