Most people believe their adult children do not require a will, until they get married or have a child of their own. However, realistically, if your adult children have any assets in their name, they should have a will.
Do I need a lawyer to make my will in Illinois? No, Illinois law doesnt require you hire an attorney to write your will. However, if you have a complex estate or unusual circumstances, it may be a good idea to consult a professional.
An Illinois Will must be in writing, contain your signature and the signatures of two credible witnesses. State law doesnt require Illinois Wills to be docHubd.
A will is not mandatory even if you have one adult child, but it helps specify asset distribution after death. A power of attorney grants legal authority to your child to manage financial or medical decisions while you are alive but incapacitated.
Illinois residents do not need an attorney to create a will. As long as you have testamentary capacity, know what property you have, and who you want to have that property, then you may make a will in Illinois. The benefit of creating a will online is that you can make a new will whenever you want.
