The Illinois legislature was concerned about elderly individuals being taken advantage of or pressured into leaving bequests of money or property to non-relative caregivers. This led to a new provision in the Illinois Probate Act, 755 ILCS 5/4-a, Presumptively Void Transfers. This law, which only applies to transferable instruments executed after January 1, 2015, makes bequests to non-relative caregivers over $20,000 presumptively void.
