Under Illinois law, if you die and have a will (or die without a will or trust), the process of legally transferring your assets is called probate. Now there are a lot of exceptions such as what happens when you have hardly any assets at all or nobody wants to make a claim to inherit your property because you had so much debt. For the purposes of this blog post, we are going to assume that the person who died had a will, a house, bank accounts and other assets with no debt. The question is, if they had a will, who can challenge it?
