Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Probate Practice and Law of Estates in the State of Illinois, Vol. 1: Relating to the Administration, Settlement and Distribution of Testate and Interstate Estates With Testamentary Writings and Forms This work has been prepared to meet the requirements of the lawyer, the representatives and others interested in the administration, settlement and distribution of estates. What appeared to be lacking in Illinois and other states, was a practical compilation and arrangement of the law and procedure relating to testate and intestate estates. For many years the statutory enactments of the different states have been considered the fundamental law governing the practice and procedure in courts of probate. These enactments apply to executors, administrators, guardians and conservators, and generally define the duties and powers of such not expressed by will or testament; but in those states where the common law is still in force the powers and duties of such representatives are enlarged by the statute, which, with the common law, may and often does extend the same. The works by Jarman, Redfield, Woerner, Perry, Story, Pomeroy and others contain much of value that may be applied during the administration of any estate; but these works also contain much of no value to the lawyer and others who must depend to a great extent upon the statutory enactments of the different states and the well considered cases handed down by the courts of final determination. The statute and case law, when all is said, are the proper weapons with which to meet the varied and important questions that usually arise during the administration of a large and important estate.
