Petition By Nonresident To Lease Sell Or Mortgage Property {CCP 0179}

CCP 0179 - PETITION BY NONRESIDENT REPRESENTATIVE TO LEASE, SELL OR MORTGAGE PROPERTY. This form is used in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Probate Division, by a nonresident representative—such as an executor, administrator, or guardian—who has been appointed in another state or country and seeks court approval to lease, sell, or mortgage real or personal property located in Illinois. The petition establishes that the decedent or ward owned property in Cook County, Illinois, and that no letters of office have been issued in Illinois for the estate. It also confirms that the petitioner has been appointed by a foreign court to manage the estate and has been directed by that court to seek approval from the Illinois court for the proposed action. The petitioner must provide authenticated copies of their letters of office, the foreign court’s order authorizing the petition, and any required surety bond or waiver. By filing this petition, the nonresident representative requests the court's permission to proceed with the transaction as directed by the foreign court. www.FormsWorkflow.com
