What's wrong with this picture?

7580 Somerset Dr., Marengo, Ill.

That's the address of the family home of the late Jack and the late Audrey Feldkamp, who died on June 7, 2011.

The house was occupied for a time by Scott Feldkamp, son of Mr. and Mrs. Feldkamp. Along about May 2012 Scott took off for Florida, even though he was the executor of the estates of his father and mother. There is some indication that the escrow checkbook for Harmony Real Estate went with him, to the chagrin of what is, effectively, the Illinois Real Estate Commission.

On September 6, 2012, Woodstock Attorney Carl Gilmore was appointed as executor of the estates, after Scott was removed and his sister, Jackie, was appointed. Less than a month later, the appointment of Jackie was vacated and a Woodstock attorney was appointed. Then Attorney Gilmore was appointed in September.

Today my attention was called to a company using the Feldkamp family home as a business address.

There is no record that Scott Feldkamp paid rent or any money for use of the family home as his residence from June 2011 until May 2012. Then a person referred to in court documents as a "squatter" moved in. Apparently, that person has lived rent-free in the large, upscale Feldkamp family home.

Jack Feldkamp had an interest in Liberty Arbour, LLC, believed to be a real estate developer. The Registered Agent, according to Illinois Secretary of State records, was changed on July 16, 2012, to Wayne L. Brown, who has listed 1700 S. Eastwood Ave., (P.O. Box 728) as his address.

But get this? The physical address for Liberty Arbour, LLC is now 7580 Somerset Drive, Marengo.

Does the executor of the estate of Audrey Feldkamp, who is the listed owner of the home, know about this? Is there a business operating out of that address now? Is it paying rent? How does that work out for the squatter?

On May 6 the executor told Judge Chmiel there weren't any assets or income. Has that changed?
