Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Illinois
A will was established for and by my parents in Florida, they now reside in Illinois.
We the sibilings of the parents are wondering if the will is still active in Illinois where they
reside or is it null and void?
1 Answer from Attorneys
A will prepared in another state is valid. It would be filed in Illinois and probate would proceed in Illinois, if necessary, but any interpretation questions would be resolved applying Florida law.
