Re: Self Representation
Any person with a legal interest in an estate has a right to appear in person or through an attorney to protect his interest. Although it is possible to do this without an attorney, unless the claim is rather small, it would likely be of benefit to you to have an attorney represent you.
It isn't clear from your posting what kind of claim you are asserting, but Claims in general are addressed in the Illinois Probate Act. A reference librarian may be able to assist you in finding the law.
Good luck to you.
