Legal Question in Elder Law in Illinois

Last Will and Testameint

I have an elderly relative who lived in New Jersey. She became ill and was admitted to a nursing home in Illinois. I am her POA and I live in Minnesota. Her will was created in New Jersey. Do I need to have a new will created in Illinois? In Minnesota?

Hello and Happy Holidays. Your relative's New Jersey will can be

probated in Illinois should she pass

here, therefore I do not suggests that

another will be prepared. I will be

happy to discuss this with you further

and in more detail. You may want to

open a disabled person's estate here

in Illinois due to your relative's

ailing health. A disabled person's

estate would further protect your relative's assets and would insure that there is one person with authority to oversee her business affairs.
