Illinois Petition By Representative of Foreign Country To Receive Distribution is a legal document filed with the court by a representative of a foreign country in order to receive a distribution from an estate. This document is usually filed in probate proceedings when the deceased had assets in both the United States and the foreign country. The petition typically names the representative, the deceased, and the estate, and outlines the reasons why the foreign country should receive distribution from the estate. There are two main types of Illinois Petition By Representative of Foreign Country To Receive Distribution: (1) a Petition for Foreign Distribution to a Pre-Determined Amount; and (2) a Petition for Foreign Distribution to an Unknown Amount. The former occurs when the deceased left an exact amount for distribution to the foreign country, while the latter occurs when the amount is unknown.
