Legal Answers
1 Questions Answered
- Q. Access to estate funds for personal expenses as surviving spouse in Illinois probate?
- A: So sorry for your loss. I'm assuming that September 5 date is six months after the third week of publishing in the paper of the notice of the probate of the estate. That would be when all potential creditor claims would be barred for failure to respond within the required time to make a claim. But even with that delay and the requirement to have the funds to pay them before ultimately distributing, the surviving spouse has a spousal share of $20,000 which you can access and have priority over them. If this is supervised, you will need court approval to distribute. If not, it is still a best practice to get the court's approval.
