Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Illinois

Any person in possession of your father's Will is obligated to record it with the County where your father lived (in most circumstances). Feel free to purchase a copy of the Will once it is recorded.

However, if that Will gives assets to a Trust, you must also speak with the Trustee or his attorney about what, if anything, was left to you (since Trust documents are not filed with the County). Since clients usually purchase their Will and Trust from the same attorney, the Will will likely point you to the appropriate attorney.

Feel free to call me to discuss this further. I won't charge for the phone call.
