Wills in Illinois
If my mom has her sons listed as beneficiaries on the documents for all major assets (property, bank accounts), does she need a will? She lives in the state of Illinois.

Re: Wills in Illinois
Yes, she does. It will make transfer of the property simpler, it will give creditors notice that time has begun to run on making a claim, it will make paying for a funeral and other debts easier, and if there is anything else in the estate (such as personal property, cars, pets, etc) those things can be handled more easily as well.
