1Opinion of the CourtJustice Slater
Father Patrick Riordan (claimant) filed a statutory custodial claim against his mother’s estate pursuant to section 18 — 1.1 of the Probate Act of 1975 (Act) (755 ILCS 5/18 — 1.1 (West 2002)). The trial court dismissed the claim on the basis that the claimant had not met the three-year requirement of the Act. The court also partially granted a petition for attorney fees filed by the objecting heirs. Appeals from those orders were consolidated in this court on claimant’s motion. We affirm the dismissal of the statutory custodial claim and vacate the award of attorney fees.
