§ 20-24. Notice of probate--Recorder's filing.

(b) Any heir or legatee who claims title to an interest in real estate from a decedent for whose estate no notice has been recorded under subsection (a) of this Section (or any successor in interest to such an heir or legatee) may record a notice of probate in substantially the same form as that required in subsection (a).

(c) A representative acting under independent administration may combine in one instrument the notice of probate and release as provided in Section 28-10.
