Illinois: Electronic Wills and Remote Witnesses Act

The governor of Illinois has signed into law the “Electronic Wills and Remote Witnesses Act,” making it the tenth American state to put into effect legislation for e-wills. The act takes effect immediately (July 26, 2021).  The Illinois act is non-uniform — it is not based on the Uniform Electronic Wills Act of 2019.

Public Act 0167 102nd General Assembly 

Special thanks to Adam J. Hirsch (Professor of Law at the University of San Diego School of Law) for bringing this Act to my attention.
