Petition For Admission Of Will And Summary Administration {CCP 0502}

CCP 0502 - PETITION FOR ADMISSION OF WILL AND SUMMARY ADMINISTRATION. This form is used in the Probate Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, to initiate a simplified probate process for a deceased person’s estate. This petition is filed when the total value of the decedent’s real and personal property subject to administration in Illinois does not exceed $50,000. The petitioner asks the court to admit the decedent’s will (and any codicils) to probate and to allow summary administration, which avoids the formal issuance of letters of office and streamlines the distribution of assets. The form includes details about the decedent’s death, a list of all heirs and legatees, any unpaid claims or taxes, and whether any surviving spouse’s or child’s awards are due. It also confirms that all heirs and legatees have consented in writing to summary distribution and that each distributee will post a bond equal to the value of their share. The petitioner requests that the court approve the will, resolve any claims, authorize distribution of the estate, and discharge the representative or excuse the need for one altogether. www.FormsWorkflow.com
