“Sit down, Judith!” - Issue Spotting at the Dinner Table: A deep dive into the many facets of Probate Court and Contested Estates

September 13, 2023

7:45 AM – 9:00 AM

1933 N. Meacham Rd., Suite 127

Schaumburg, IL 60173

Remember that classic SNL skit with “Judith” being silenced at the table? They really captured the dreaded family holiday dinner. Year after year, we all follow the family tradition of packing into that one relative’s slightly too small home, to break the less-than-desirable but proverbial bread with your next of kin. The family holiday dinner is a custom honored across all cultures and divides. Yet, why is this institution—the family holiday dinner—dreaded by so many? Is it the reminder that great Uncle Larry is in an ever-declining state? Is that greedy cousin Susan who seems to have her nose in everyone’s business and private finances? Is it your overbearing brother Tom, who seems to control every aspect of your parents’ lives including when they visit and what they eat?

The truth is everyone at the dinner table represents a probate case or contested estate waiting to happen. Oftentimes, we fail to see the warning signs until we are served with a subpoena or worse yet, a summons. 

Understanding how Probate Court works can help you protect your loved ones or keep you from staring down the wrong side of a contested matter. Join us on September 13 for this FREE presentation on Contested Probate matters. We will cover topics ranging from:

1. Contested Guardianship Proceedings;
2. Petitions to Suspend or Revoke Powers of Attorney;
3. Elder Abuse and Financial Exploitation;
4. Contested Administration of Decedent’s Estates; and
5. Will Contest or Renunciation

Doors will open at 7:45 for a complimentary continental breakfast and the presentation will begin at 8:00. Registration is required as seating is limited. No walk-ins. Register through Eventbrite using link below.
