Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Illinois

Return the money to whom? The estate may have an executor, talk to him or her. Who inherits the bank account balance? You owe the funds to this individual. The question is how to make restitution--through a deposit to the bank or through the executor. There is no "if" about it, you did something which needs to be corrected. The executor of the estate needs to be made aware of the transactions. Make sure you carefully document your efforts to make restitution.
