Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Illinois

Your grandparents' Wills are public documents that should have been filed in the Probate Court of the county where they resided at the time of their respective deaths. You can obtain those documents and see if/how they left you anything. The Wills may not tell you much other than that they had Trusts. If you are a beneficiary of the Trusts, you can request copies of the Trusts from the Trustee.

This is based on the information you have provided only and also based on several assumptions. If you would like to discuss the matter in greater detail, please feel free to contact me.

Your situation should be approached very carefully. Also, I'm guessing that you do not have a lot of money to spend on an attorney.

As a first step, you might want to try a casual approach which does not involve an attorney. Is there any way to gently open up a conversation with your father about this? Since I do not know your relationship with your father, I hesitate to suggest a method based only on your post. However, feel free to call me for a brief consultation about this. I won't charge for the phone call.
