Would like a few opinions on this

Estate is in Illinois.

Trustees failure to file will with the court within 30 days as per Illinois law......

What has been your experience with the judge when failure to do the above has happened? How seriously is this taken in a court of law?

Thanks in advance for your input!

Never actually seen a judge rule on this. I assume you know who has possession of the original will. I'm sure you can at least get a court order ordering filing of the will within a short period of time. Technically, if the person does not file it they can be charged with a felony.

So it would be a felony if the will was not filed? It has been 18 months and the estate is still unsettled with no dispersment.
