What counts as proof for Heir lineage in probate? | Aug 22, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Illinois Need to hire someone who can draw a map of my family tree for court, I talked to two Private Investigators and one heir service, can any of these work in court? Can I do this research myself and provide it to my attorney?
Illinois Probate still open after 15 years? | Aug 17, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Champaign County, Illinois I’m looking for general guidance on an Illinois probate situation.

(We've been looking at cases like In re Estate of Stanford and In re Estate of Denlinger, which discuss how statutory notice is equivalent to service of process and triggers the proper timeline for heirs).
