@David Kirchhoffwhen it comes to housing court (and probably all courts), its my experience that Judges make the rules (within reason of course).

Other than going to court.

that info should be in the court docs that make that person the executor. 

You were given a second interview for a reason chief, this is the time to show them how you truly are.

I have a full time job. so during the time I work that is when the county's court is open.

Last one I was reading lately was Shook v Walden, a Texas third court of appeals case.

Then the Attorney will have some skin ( her/his ***) in the game if anything goes wrong and you can retain them for a reasonable rate.If you have any other paperwork, a first year Law Student should be able to rip it (and you) to shreds in Court, unless you have Legal training.

Hello BP gang,Lately I have been doing plenty of due dilligence on the subject of probate and have taken my first action steps, including scouring the public record files at the court building as well as looking thru the newspaper public notices...

Evictions are different, I have never had to do one in Chicago but I hear it can take months to get a court date.  

The leases we recently got from a new purchase state that they do not allow holdover tenancy, and the consequences (paying for extra days, paying for expedited cleaning, and the possibility of being taken to court to pay for the expenses of the incoming tenants) to discourage this.
