A tutorial for Illinois residents to write their own legal Will from LandofLincolnAttorneyServices.com, an online law office of Michael E. Byczek (Chicago, IL).
This version corresponds to situations for an unmarried individual with minor children. Your children are the sole beneficiaries of all property (equally divided). Pick one primary and one alternate guardian for the minor children.
Also included is a self-proving affidavit, which is a one-page document independent of the Will for the witnesses to sign and notarize in addition to the Will.
The app is organized into separate pages for each provision along with a sample Will to show how these sections fit together: guardianship, property, funeral, administrator, and more. Additionally, view some helpful advice on how to format the document to prevent manipulation later.
Michael E. Byczek is licensed to practice law in Illinois and a certified system administrator.
