Also we never got an eviction notice on that part of property and thought sheriffs-department should of served one, is this true?
Yes, typically, a formal eviction process should involve a notice served by the sheriff's department or a certified process server. However, laws can vary by location. I suggest consulting a local attorney for advice tailored to your situation in Crawford County, Illinois.
