Question:
Can the Heirs Hire Separate Attorneys?Answer:
Sometimes we’re asked a question – in Illinois, can heirs hire separate lawyers in a wrongful death case? The typical answer is no. The attorney that represents the estate is primarily the attorney that prosecutes and proceeds with the case. In other words, there’s usually one lawyer that acts on behalf of the wrongful death, and pursues the case, and moves forward with the litigation. Oftentimes, other heirs or members of the family may have probate lawyers or other lawyers that are monitoring and watching the case and advising their clients as to what their interests may be in a case.
If you have any questions about whether or not you yourself should be the one hiring an attorney to prosecute a wrongful death case, or possibly you’re an heir that has questions about what your rights are in a wrongful death case, please give us a call and we’ll be happy to answer any questions that you have.
