Re: last will and testament

Hello and Happy New Year. I suggests that you hire an Illinois lawyer to determine whether your inheritance was deposited with the County Clerk. Since you were over 18, there was no

basis for your money being withheld. If the judge had known about this, he

may have held the executor in contempt of court. Will be happy to discuss this with you further and in more detail.
