Who can make a will, per the official page: 18 or older, of sound mind. Not the right fit if The person signing isn't in Illinois, you still need the will written (that's a lawyer's job), or someone may contest it. Not a will form or a legal service.

What is inside - **Start here.** The 7 confirmed Illinois facts at a glance. - **Illinois signing-day checklist.** Bring 2 witnesses. The rule: Two or more credible witnesses, who attest in the testator's presence. Pick witnesses who get nothing under the will and aren't married to someone who does. If a beneficiary would have to witness, stop and call the lawyer first: A witness who stands to inherit under the will may lose that inheritance (Nolo, citing 755 ILCS 5/4-6). No self-proving affidavit to arrange for this state: No separate affidavit is needed. Per Nolo's Illinois page, a will that is signed and witnessed correctly is self-proved without a self-proving affidavit, and a notary isn't needed to make the will legal. The rule here: A witness who stands to inherit under the will may lose that inheritance (Nolo, citing 755 ILCS 5/4-6). The testator signs (or acknowledges the signature) while the witnesses watch, then each witness signs. Remote witnessing: Allowed under 755 ILCS 6. - **Witness information sheet.** One block per Illinois witness (2 required, plus a spare). - **Original-will storage and location record.** Where the original is and who has copies. Handwritten wills in Illinois: Not recognized, per Nolo's Illinois page. - **Illinois will signing tracker (Excel).** Steps, ID, copies and review dates.
