Illinois Law Now!
Question: If I use small claims court to settle my case, can I bring along an attorney? Answer: While a lawyer in small claims court isn’t required, your chances of winning a case may improve if you hire an attorney. Be aware that small claims court may be used only for certain types of cases, such as breach of contract, property damage, a personal injury, evictions or repossession of property. The maximum judgment allowed in small claims court is $10,000, plus costs. Question: Under what circumstances can a will be contested? Answer: A will can be challenged for a number of reasons, including the fact that it was not signed properly before witnesses or that the person making the will did not have the mental capacity to understand what they were signing. Further information about wills and trusts is available in a free brochure at http://bit.ly/111CYGF. Question: Would the sale of my home be subject to capital gains tax? Answer: If you have owned and occupied your principal residence for more than two years, you may not have to pay this tax. An experienced attorney can help you understand tax problems that may occur when your home is sold. He or she will also make sure that, before signing, you understand all legal agreements related to the sale of your home. For more information about Illinois law, visit www. illinoislawyerfinder.com.
