Dahl v. Grenier
Appellate Court of Illinois
1Opinion of the Court
PRESIDING JUSTICE BUCKLEY
delivered the opinion of the court:
Petitioners, the natural grandchildren of decedent, James J. Elwell, sought to vacate and set aside the judgment of adoption by which decedent adopted his stepdaughter, respondent Joan Grenier. Their petition alleged that decedent was under a legal disability at the time the adoption judgment was entered, and that the entering court therefore lacked subject matter jurisdiction. Following a hearing, the trial court entered an order denying the petition, and it is from this order that petitioners now appeal. We affirm.
