This is IL intestate law:

  • If a person dies without a will and leaves a spouse and other heirs, then the surviving spouse and heirs share the estate, with one half of the estate going to the spouse and the other half to the descendants.
  • The surviving spouse is entitled to receive at least $10,000 from the deceased, with an additional $5,000 for each child.

Please let me know if any clarification needed.
