Q: My mother passed away and my two brothers were left as executors to the estate. They hired the lawyer that my mom place
They hired the lawyer that my mom placed in charge of the will to the estate. I thought the lawyer was supposed to notify the siblings when the will would be read? Her house sold just sold seven days ago and no one was notified. Their lawyer did not even tell us when the will was going to be read. This was filed in Randolph County IL.
A:
There is no reading of wills.
The executors will go to court and be appointed.
Then, if they have not already gotten consents from all the heirs, they will send notices with the probate papers and will attached.
This is to allow people to challenge the will.
