Non-probate assets are those that do not require a courts involvement during the probate process, allowing for a smoother and quicker transfer to beneficiaries. These assets can include life insurance policies, retirement accounts, and properties held in joint tenancy, among others.
Probate is typically required in Illinois whenever an individual passes away with any real estate that is not owned by a trust or owned jointly with a living spouse or with more than $100,000.00 outside of a trust or accounts that are directly payable on death to a living beneficiary.
In simple terms, probating a will means the will must be submitted to a probate court so that the court can (a) ensure the will is valid and admit the will to probate and (b) appoint someone known as an executor or administrator to oversee the management and distribution of the decedents assets.
The Petition for Probate of Will and Letters Testamentary is requesting for the court to validate the Will and formally appoint the Executor. Once this is done, the court authorizes the Executor to oversee the process of distributing assets and property to beneficiaries per the instructions provided in the Will.
Although a holographic will is written and signed entirely in the testators own handwriting, it does not need to be dated, and its signing does not need to be witnessed. If a holographic is compliant with state law, it should be enforceable in probate.

The key disadvantages of holographic wills are validity concerns, interpretation issues, probate delays, and limited estate planning tools.
One of the most common problems with holographic wills is ambiguity. The intended meaning may have been clear to the testator, but those who are reading the will can be left with great confusion over the testators true intentions.
If a holographic is compliant with state law, it should be enforceable in probate. However, any will which is inconsistent in any way can be challenged or simply declared invalid by a probate judge.
