This form is used in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Probate Division, to request the court’s authorization to take the deposition of an individual who attested to a decedent’s will. This petition is filed in accordance with Section 6-5 of the Illinois Probate Act of 1975 [755 ILCS 5/6-5], and is typically necessary when the testimony of a witness to the will is required but the witness cannot appear in court, such as due to illness, distance, or other valid reasons.
