from the NASGA newsletter today: 

estate of Peter Karoly and his wife, Dr. Lauren Angstadt (not in Illinois)

and those fees apparently don’t even include attorneys for others appearing in the estate and contesting some matters!

An attorney on the losing side of the disputed wills put it more bluntly.

“Oh my God, I’m just blown away,” Richard Angino said. “In a case where individuals have the responsibility of liquidating the assets of the estate, the purpose isn’t to liquidate those assets into your pocket.”

I don’t think this is a new warning to any of you, but be sure of what you want to do when you step onto the 18th floor of the Daley Center.
