In asking the following questions, I am assuming that Lincolnwood is in Cook County.
In Cook County, if one has a will(husband and wife) and the husband dies, is it an ABSOLUTE that the will be filed with Probate or some such state branch. This is an un-contested will.
If so, what is the statute of limitation?
I was given to believe (by a clerk working in probate)that ALL wills must be filed and a matter of public record.
After the death, is there a way of avoiding doing so? (one of the beneficiaries is a lawyer)
Thank you for your prompt reply
