§ 20-24 — Notice of probate - Recorder's filing

(a) If a decedent's estate in supervised or independent administration includes an interest in real estate that is not sold or conveyed by the representative during administration, the representative shall sign and record a notice of probate. The notice shall include the decedent's name, address and date of death, the legal description and street address (if any) of the real estate, the court name and case number to identify the estate, the date the representative was appointed, and the representative's name and address. The notice shall be recorded in the county where the real estate is located before the representative is discharged. (b) Any heir or legatee who claims title to an interest in real estate from a decedent for whose estate no notice has been recorded under subsection (a) of this Section (or any successor in interest to such an heir or legatee) may record a notice of probate in substantially the same form as that required in subsection (a). (c) A representative acting under independent administration may combine in one instrument the notice of probate and release as provided in Section 28-10.
