Why You Should Draft a Will
A will is one of the most important documents to include in your Illinois estate plan. It gives clear instructions about what happens to your property after you die. Without one, Illinois law decides who receives your assets (755 ILCS 5/2-1). Those rules do not account for family conflict, blended families, or personal wishes.
