Yes. Illinois residents do not need an attorney to create a will. As long as you have testamentary capacity, know what property you have, and who you want to have that property, then you may make a will in Illinois.
You can find this in the property deed or other documents recorded against the property. If you do not have these, you can find them at the office of County Recorder of Deeds or their website.
Like most deeds, TOD deeds must be signed, notarized, and filed in the land records office (often called a register of deeds or recorder of deeds, or combined with a county clerk's office) in the county where your real estate is located. A few states (like California) also require your TOD deed to be witnessed.
