Frequently Asked Questions

A self-proved affidavit is a legal document that allows a will to be validated without the need for witnesses to testify in court. It simplifies the probate process by providing evidence that the will was executed properly.

Yes, you can change your will at any time as long as you are of sound mind. This can be done through a codicil or by creating a new will that revokes the previous one.

If your children are minors, the will allows you to appoint a guardian to care for them and a trustee to manage their assets until they reach adulthood.

No, this will is specifically designed for estates valued at less than $2,000,000. If your estate exceeds this amount, you may need a more complex will or estate plan.

The will allows you to make specific gifts to individuals or organizations, ensuring that your personal items or assets are distributed according to your wishes.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who have recently gone through a divorce and have minor children often need to establish a will to ensure their children's future is secure. This document allows them to designate guardians and manage their assets effectively.
  • Situations requiring clarity in asset distribution arise when a divorced parent wants to ensure that their minor children inherit their estate. This will provides a structured approach to distributing assets and appointing a trustee for minors.
  • For those who wish to make specific gifts to family members or friends while ensuring their minor children are prioritized, this will serves as an essential tool. It allows the testator to balance their wishes with the needs of their children.
  • Parents who are not remarried and have minor children may find themselves needing a will to address potential guardianship issues. This document helps to avoid disputes by clearly stating their preferences.
  • In cases where a divorced individual has assets valued under $2,000,000, this will is tailored to meet their needs. It simplifies the estate planning process and ensures compliance with Illinois law.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate for individuals who are currently married and wish to include their spouse in their estate planning. A different will structure is needed to accommodate spousal rights.
  • If the testator has a complex estate with significant assets exceeding $2,000,000, this will may not provide the necessary legal protections and should be replaced with a more comprehensive estate plan.
  • In cases where the testator has children from multiple relationships, additional legal considerations may need to be addressed that this will does not cover.
  • Individuals who are seeking to disinherit a spouse or child may find this will unsuitable, as it does not provide the necessary legal framework for such actions.
  • For those who are not divorced or have no minor children, this will is not relevant and should not be used.
