Illinois Claim against Estate is a process whereby the State of Illinois can collect monies owed to it by a deceased individual. These claims can arise from unpaid taxes, unpaid debts, unpaid fines, and other claims made by the state. There are two main types of Illinois Claim against Estate: Voluntary and Involuntary. Voluntary claims involve an individual filing a request with the state to make a payment. The request must be accompanied by the appropriate documentation and a payment plan must be agreed upon. Once the payment plan is approved, the claim will be paid in full. Involuntary claims involve the state filing a lien against the estate of the deceased. The lien will remain until the debt is paid in full. If the debt is not paid, the state may file a lawsuit and seek a judgment against the estate. The judgment will be used to collect the debt. Regardless of the type of Illinois Claim against Estate, the state must be notified of the death of the deceased individual. The estate must also provide the state with proper documentation and other information to ensure the proper collection of the claim.
