Re: Homestead law in Illinois

The answer to your question depends upon whether your father left a will, and, if not, whether your sisters are going to contest your ownership of the house.

I would highly recommend consulting with an estate planning or probate attorney to review the documents and to help you determine what needs to be done. It will be time and money well spent.

Good luck to you.
