An Illinois Order appointing Representative of Decedents Estate-Intestate is a court order issued by the probate court in the state of Illinois. It appoints a representative of the decedent's estate-intestate (one who has died without a will). The order sets forth the name and address of the representative, identifies the estate assets, and authorizes the representative to act on behalf of the estate. There are two types of orders: a limited order and a general order. A limited order is limited to a specific purpose or task; a general order gives the representative full authority to handle the estate. Both types of orders must be signed by the probate judge and filed with the court.
