HILLSBORO, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, ILLINOIS, EXPERIENCED ESTATE ADMINISTRATION LITIGATION ATTORNEY AVAILABLE TO REPRESENT CLIENTS FROM THE WINCHESTER, SCOTT COUNTY, ILLINOIS AREA. WE REPRESENTED AN OUT-OF-STATE SISTER IN A CONTESTED WILL AND TRUST CASE IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY. WE BROUGHT AN ACTION AGAINST HER TWO BROTHERS, WHO WERE FARMERS, OBJECTING TO TRANSFERS OF PROPERTY FROM THE PARENTS TO THE BROTHERS AND OUR CLIENT, TO THE EXCLUSION OF OUR CLIENT, THE OUT-OF-STATE SISTER. MORE THAN $900,000 WAS AT STAKE AND THE BROTHERS WERE REPRESENTED BY PROBATE COUNSEL FROM VANDALIA, FAYETTE COUNTY, THE CASE BEING IN THE FOURTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT COURT, STATE OF ILLINOIS, AND THE RESULTS OBTAINED FOR OUR CLIENT EXCEEDED HER EXPECTATIONS.
OUR CLIENT HAD MOVED OUT WEST AND HAD A SUCCESSFUL CAREER IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. AFTER HER PARENTS PASSED AWAY, SHE SENSED THAT HER BROTHERS, ENGAGED IN AGRICULTURE IN THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY AREA, MAY HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THEIR SITUATION, INCLUDING UNDULY INFLUENCING THEIR PARENTS WITH REGARD TO TRANSFERENCES OF PROPERTY BEFORE THEIR PARENTS PASSED AWAY. WE WERE ABLE TO TRACK CERTAIN CONVEYANCES THAT WERE OCCURRING AFTER ESTATE PLANNING DOCUMENTS WERE IN PLACE, THAT MADE PROVISION FOR OUR CLIENT, SAID TRANSFERS INTENDING TO PREEMPT THE ESTATE PLAN AS PER THE WILLS AND TRUSTS OF THE PARENTS. AFTER WE FILED THE CASE IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT, WE TOOK THE DISCOVERY DEPOSITIONS OF THE BROTHERS. WE ALSO REQUESTED THEIR TAX INFORMATION, INCLUDING THEIR TAX RETURNS. THE MORE WE INVESTIGATED, THE CLEARER IT BECAME THAT THE BROTHERS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THEIR ELDERLY PARENTS, TO THE EXCLUSION OF OUR OUT-OF-STATE CLIENT WHO WAS NOT AWARE OF THE TRANSFERS OF PROPERTY UNTIL BOTH OF HER PARENTS HAD PASSED AWAY.
