Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

    (755 ILCS 27/85)
    Sec. 85. Rights of claimants. A beneficiary of a transfer on death instrument is subject to creditor, administrative, funeral and burial, and statutory claims to the same extent and in the same manner as a beneficiary of a trust that was revocable at the time of the settlor's death as provided in Section 505 of the Illinois Trust Code, except that if more than one real property is transferred by a transfer on death instrument, the liability will be apportioned among the real properties in proportion to the net values of the real properties at the time of the owner's death.
