Cook County Probate Online (Finally!)
Cook County has finally joined the 21st century, and made case information available online, here. Of interest to people with an interest in probate:
1. Probate Case search: provides information about probate cases
2. Probate Wills search: provides information about Wills filed in Cook County. I especially like the "Search by Will Name" feature. For instance, want to know about Mike Royko's Will? Type "Royko" in the Search by Will Name field, and hit the Search Now button. You'll discover that Mr. Royko's Will was filed on May 12, 1997, following his death, and is referenced as Will No. 1997W004517. You could take that number to the 12th Floor of the Daley Center in downtown Chicago, and use it to see a copy of the Will.
