Election To Take Goods And Chattels For Award {CCP 0321}

CCP 0321 - ELECTION TO TAKE GOODS AND CHATTELS FOR AWARD. This form is used in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Probate Division by a surviving spouse, guardian of a minor, or adult dependent child of a deceased individual to formally elect to receive certain personal property (goods and chattels) from the estate of the deceased. The elected items are listed along with their appraised values and are applied toward a statutory award—typically $20,000 for a surviving spouse and $10,000 for each child, as outlined in the Illinois Probate Act. The form allows the claimant to offset part of the award with property instead of receiving the full amount in cash. Any remaining balance of the award not covered by the value of the property will be paid in cash. This document must include identifying case information, the appraised value of each item claimed, the total value of the elected property, and the claimant's signature and contact information. If an attorney is involved, their details must also be included. www.FormsWorkflow.com
