CHICAGO PROBATE

Anti-Lapse Provisions

Gifts by will or in trust are often made to someone who dies before the deceased maker of the will or trust (Testator or Grantor). Anti-lapse statutes provide that the descendants of the deceased named beneficiary take the gift if the named beneficiary was a descendant of testator or grantor. Otherwise the gift to the named deceased beneficiary lapses.
