The Estate Department is a monthly column written by CARY A. LIND and published in Newsbriefs, the monthly newsletter of the Northwest Suburban Bar Association. The columns are written for other attorneys. We believe, however, that even non-attorneys will enjoy much of the subject matter and case summaries.

We hope you enjoy the articles.
