It is in regard to probate of a pour over will (which points to a trust)...and reads as follows:
Dockets:
(dates) (description)
5/7/02 notice to creditors
5/7/02 proof of publication
5/20/02 statement of claim-xxx medical group $114.00
6/6/02 order to correct deficiencies-notice printed
6/10/02 order to correct deficiencies-filed/mailed
6/17/02 statement of claim-xxx med. center-$789.00
There are items previous to this...indicating the letters of admin, "foreign probate" (due to residency being IL but passed while in FL), petition for admin...etc.
When we questioned what this order of deficiency was, we were told he "had no idea" what it was...brushing us off.
***An "order" would come from a judge and the executor/trustee would be made known of such a thing, right?
Also, the actual letters of admin & petition for admin are viewable online, but these other items only go to a screen indicating they aren't viewable online...so I'm thinking of contacting the FL court and requesting whatever I'm allowed to view by law...as this situation has been extremely evasive since day one...
***If I contacted the court, would they be obligated to notify the executor/trustee of our questions and requests for info.?
Finally, when questioned about probate in IL due to a condo located here, reply was that his lawyer said one didn't have to be done in IL...which doesn't seem right. There are friends, family and creditors here as well and they have no clue...etc. I don't favor the creditors...but it just doesn't seem right, most of the people who knew the deceased were here, and the only notification of anything was the obituary that I placed, everything is being handled through FL court.
***Is it possible for this whole thing to end up being processed and closed w/o anyone ever being notified in IL?
