What Aaron Korson handles
Aaron Korson practices under the name Aaron Korson, Attorney at Law. The firm's legal name is Chicago Family Attorneys, LLC, and he is its Managing Attorney. The office is in the Loop at 53 W. Jackson Blvd., Suite 752, Chicago, IL 60604.
The work on this site is civil. A client usually arrives with a dated document: a take notice from a tax sale, a denial letter from an insurer, a closing file with a problem in it, or letters from the circuit court about an estate. The first task is to read the record and find the deadline.
Tax deeds and property tax
Property tax is a substantial part of this practice. Delinquent taxes are sold, the buyer takes a certificate of purchase, and the Illinois Property Tax Code (35 ILCS 200) then sets the redemption period and the notices the certificate holder has to serve before asking the court for a tax deed. Owners, lienholders and certificate holders each read the same file for different reasons.
Tax deed petitions and the take notice record under 35 ILCS 200/22-10
Redemption, the redemption period under 35 ILCS 200/21-350 and the amount required
Guides on these questions are collected under property tax, including the notice document checklist and how to read the tax deed court file.
Real estate and civil disputes
Real estate matters include failed sales, boundary and ownership questions and problems that surface after closing. Other civil work includes claims under the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act (815 ILCS 505) and disputes with an insurer over a denied, delayed or underpaid claim.
Probate
Probate work follows the Probate Act of 1975 (755 ILCS 5): opening the estate, appointment of a representative, notice to heirs and creditors, claims and distribution. Not every estate needs a court proceeding, and that is the first thing worth checking.
