Application To Transfer Will And Order Transferring Will {CCP 0331}

CCP 0331 - APPLICATION TO TRANSFER WILL. This form is used in the Probate Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, when an individual requests that the original will—and any codicil—of a deceased person be transferred to a different court for probate proceedings. The applicant affirms under penalty of perjury that the decedent has passed away, that the will was filed in Cook County, and that no probate case (such as issuance of letters or a pending petition) has been initiated in that court. The applicant must explain why another court, referred to as the “Transferee Court,” is the appropriate jurisdiction for administering the estate—typically due to the decedent’s residence or location of assets. If approved, the court will order the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County to mail the original will and codicil to the designated transferee court, while retaining copies for record-keeping. The applicant is responsible for any associated costs. www.FormsWorkflow.com
