Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Illinois

I am sorry for your loss. Regrettably, there may be more to this than you anticipate. If the house was solely in his name, then its disposition will depend either on his will or state inheritance laws. If your husband did not have a will, state inheritance laws provide that his estate passes half to you and half to his descendants. Consult with a well-recommended local attorney experienced in real estate and probate.
