Malpractice Action Against Attorney Barred By Probate Limitation Period

A short summary from Elder Law Answers:

Ruling that a malpractice action against an attorney who drafted a trust amendment is time barred, the Illinois Supreme Court holds that because the plaintiff’s injuries did not occur until the decedent’s death, she was required to file her complaint within the time for filing claims against the estate. Wackrow v. Niemi (Ill., No. 105459, Nov. 20, 2008).
