The legal process of distributing a deceased person’s estate.
Under Illinois law, whenever a deceased person’s estate exceeds $100,000, but not counting joint tenancy property, assets with beneficiaries (i.e., life insurance, IRA’s etc.), and trusts.
When all the deceased person’s assets have been distributed according to his or her Will or State Statute if there is no Will.
So to probate a Will, the Executor demonstrates to the Probate Court that he or she is following the deceased person’s wishes contained in his or her Will.
A deceased person’s assets are distributed to his or her heirs or people mentioned in the Will, but if there is no Will, then assets are distributed according to State law (i.e., children, spouse, other relatives).
The decedent is the legal name for the dead person.
