The Illinois Petition for Admission of Will and Summary Administration is a legal document used when a deceased individual has died with a valid will in Illinois to appoint an executor or personal representative to handle the deceased's estate. This document is filed with the Circuit Court clerk in the county where the deceased lived at the time of death. The Petition must include the name of the deceased, the name of the proposed executor or personal representative, the names of the deceased's heirs, and a summary of the deceased's assets. Depending on the size and complexity of the estate, the Petition may also include an inventory of the deceased's assets as well as the names of any creditors and the amounts owed to them. There are two types of Petition for Admission of Will and Summary Administration in Illinois: Regular Summary Administration and Small Estate Summary Administration. Regular Summary Administration is used for estates that are valued at more than $100,000, while Small Estate Summary Administration is used for estates that are valued at $100,000 or less. In both cases, the Petition must be signed by the proposed executor or personal representative and must include a copy of the death certificate.
