There Is Someone Responsible For Handling The Probate Process
If there is a will, the individual responsible for handling the probate process is called the executor. If there is no will that person is known as the administrator. In either case that individual is responsible for managing the deceased"s estate throughout the entire probate process.

Not having a will can be dangerous in <state> that's because Illinois laws will be used to determine who gets your property by default. Usually, your property will be distributed based on how the state thinks most people will want it done. That means property usually goes to your spouse or children and then to other family members.

That can be a hassle if you have other plans in mind. Illinois probate lawyers can help you transfer your wishes onto a will that clearly spells out your wishes to your executor. An executor is a person who is responsible for proving the will is valid, finding the dead person’s property, appraising the property, paying debts and taxes, and distributing left over property according to the person’s probate will.

Setting up a living trust may be one way to avoid the probate process. But it must still follow certain Illinois laws. Be sure to contact a probate lawyer in Illinois who can inform you of your rights.
