Materials
Description
This presentation on decedent's estates is intended for attorneys interested in volunteering in CVLS' Probate Court Assistance Project (PCAP) in which pro bono practitioners represent low income petitioners in decedent’s estate cases.
PCAP’s champion, Rich Campbell, is a longtime CVLS volunteer and veteran Probate practitioner. His work with the PCAP program has garnered him CVLS’ coveted Court of Honor Award. Because of his hard work and the success of PCAP we have more cases than expected and need more volunteers in this area.
This seminar will give an overview of the probate process from start to finish. Expect to come away from this seminar with all you need in order to successfully administer a decedent’s estate in the Cook County Circuit Court.
