735 ILCS 5/ Code of Civil Procedure.

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.

Execution of deed.

Whenever any deed, mortgage, conveyance, release,
power of attorney or other writing of, or relating to the sale,
conveyance or other disposition of real estate, or any interest therein,
or any other instrument in writing not required by law to be attested by
a subscribing witness, may be offered in evidence in any action
pending in any court of this state, and the same

the execution of such deed or other writing otherwise than as now
provided by law, it shall not be necessary to prove the execution of the
same by a subscribing witness to the exclusion of other evidence, but
the execution of such instrument may be proved by secondary evidence
without producing or accounting for the absence of the subscribing
witness or witnesses.
