Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Illinois
Wills and a letter of instruction on how to pass the personal property
Must the will reference the letter of instruction for the letter to be valid even if the letter is signed and dated by the deceased and gives specific bequests of personal property. If the will requires the personal property must be divided so that it is substantially equal amongst the beneficiaries, is the financial value of the property the only factor that must be used ? How much authority does the executor have in deciding what satifies the will's requriement that the executor '' conclusively determines that the personal property is substantially equal amongst the beneficiaries?

Under WA law:
Yes. Yes. All. Depends on what the will says.
