Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Illinois

Re: Wills

If you are residence of Illinois the wills are still valid. However, in reading the will the divorce treats the other spouse as having died before the spouse that wrote the will. So if you are the husband your Will will treat your ex-wife as if she had predeceased you. If your will read, for example, "everything to my wife and if she predeceases me equally to my children", if you now die without changing your will everything would go to your children.
