Illinois SB0083 modifies the Small Estates Article of the Probate Act of 1975 to permit the use of a small estate affidavit for transferring personal property in a decedent's estate if no letters of office are outstanding and no petition for letters is pending.

The changes apply to decedents who died on or after the effective date of the amendatory Act.
