In this episode of the Learn About Law podcast & videoblog, Kevin O'Flaherty of O'Flaherty Law discusses when probate is necessary in order to administer the estate of a deceased individual. Probate is typically necessary in Illinois when the decedent owns any real estate or more than $100,000.00 of non-real-estate assets outside of a trust. If probate is necessary, then the executor of the estate must receive Letters of Office from the probate court in order to collect the assets of the estate for the payment of creditors and heirs or legatees. If probate is not necessary, then the executor or trustee can administer the estate immediately with the use of a small estate affidavit.
In this article, we will discuss when it is necessary in Illinois to open a probate matter to administer the estate of a decedent and when doing so can be avoided.

McHenry County probate lawyer Kevin O'Flaherty explains when probate is required in McHenry County, Illinois.
In this article, our McHenry County probate lawyers explain when probate is required in McHenry County, Illinois. Probate is required in order to distribute the assets of an estate if the person who passed away (the "decedent") owned any real estate outside of a trust or more than $100,000.00 in non-real estate assets outside of a trust or payable on death accounts. If probate is required and you are the executor of the estate, the first step is to file a petition to open a probate estate with the appropriate probate court.
In this article, our McHenry County estate lawyers explain the probate process in McHenry County, Illinois. A probate case is initiated by filing a petition to open a probate estate along with accompanying documents. The executor should serve notice upon creditors, heirs, and beneficiaries named in the will (legatees). The executor must also publish notice to unknown creditors in a newspaper of general circulation in McHenry County. Once the period for creditors to file claims with the estate has passed, the executor will present an inventory and accounting to creditors and heirs to show how assets will be distributed. Finally, the executor will file a final report with the McHenry County probate court to demonstrate that his or her responsibilities have been properly discharged.

McHenry County probate lawyer Kevin O'Flaherty explains the difference between indpenendent administration and supervised administration of McHenry County probate estates.
In this article, our McHenry County probate lawyers explain the difference between independent administration and supervised administration of McHenry County probate estates. Indpendently administered estates allow the executor or administrator to make most decisions and distribute most assets without the need for court approval.
Supervised administration will be required if it is either ordered by the court or requested by an heir or creditor. If an estate is supervised by the court, court approval will be required for many of the executor or administrator's decisions, and certain additional reports will be required to be filed with the court.
