Modification of Residential Real Estate Contracts in Lake in the Hills

Selling and buying homes is a generally standardized process and the contracts used are similar, but there are modifications that you can make to ensure that all of your needs are contractually protected. Your realtor can customize that the contract to fit your specific needs. The contract will typically provide that each party's attorney will have 5 business days to

  1. approve the contract;
  2. reject the contract; or
  3. negotiate modifications to the contract.  

A good attorney will be sure to staunchly protect his client's interests while, at the same time, working to achieve a meeting of the minds between the parties so as to prevent the deal from falling through. Our Wheaton real estate contract attorneys ensure the best service when it comes to modification of contracts.

What is Ancillary Probate in Lake in the Hills

A probate case is typically opened in the state in which the decedent primarily resided. However, if the decedent owned property in states other than his or her primary residence, the executor or administrator may need to open secondary probate cases in those states in order to gain control of the property in those states. These cases are known as "ancillary probate" cases. In this article, our Lake in the Hills real estate contract attorneys answer common questions about ancillary probate cases, such as:

  • What is Ancillary Probate? 
  • When is Ancillary Probate Required?
  • What is the Process if Probate is Required in Multiple States?
  • How Do I Simplify or Reduce Costs for Ancillary Probate in Illinois?
  • How Can I Prevent My Estate from Going Through Ancillary Probate?

What Happens When Minors Inherit Property in Lake in the Hills

In the absence of a will or trust, the decedent’s estate will go through probate. The probate court will appoint a guardian of the minor child’s estate.  This person will be responsible for managing the inherited assets of the minor until the minor reaches age 18, at which point the remaining assets will be paid out to the child. The guardian of the estate will have the duty to preserve as much of the inheritance as possible for distribution to the child when the child reaches the age of majority.  

This can occur under various circumstances including: 

  • Decedent dies intestate (without a will or trust)
  • Decedent has a will in place, but not a trust
  • Decedent has a trust in place
