Petition To Settle Cause of Action Survival {CCP 0349}

CCP 0349 - PETITION TO SETTLE CAUSE OF ACTION - SURVIVAL.This form is used in the Probate Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, to request court approval for the settlement of a legal claim related to a deceased person's estate. It applies when the estate's representative (such as an executor or administrator) seeks to settle a survival action—a legal claim that the deceased person could have pursued if they had lived, such as a personal injury claim resulting in death. The form outlines the details of the claim, including the party being held responsible, the date of the incident, and the amount offered in settlement. It also confirms that a judge has already approved the settlement in a separate case and includes a breakdown of expenses and charges against the settlement proceeds. The remaining balance is then proposed for distribution to the estate. www.FormsWorkflow.com
