Re: medical lawsuite estate settlement

You need to file a lawsuit in whatever state the father died. At this point the statute of limitations may have run on claims against the estate (need to know where you are suing). Back child support is one of the easiest things to sue for in Illinois, but the fact that the father has died adds an interesting wrinkle.
