(755 ILCS 10/10) (from Ch. 110 1/2, par. 60)
Sec. 10.
International will information registration.
The Secretary
of State shall establish a registry system by which
authorized persons may register in a central information center,
information regarding the execution of international wills, keeping that
information in strictest confidence until the death of the maker and then
making it available to any person desiring information about any will who
presents a death certificate or other satisfactory evidence of the
testator's death to the center. Information that may be received,
preserved in confidence until death, and reported as indicated is limited
to the name, social security or any other individual identifying number
established by law, address, and date and place of birth of the testator,
and the intended place of deposit or safekeeping of the instrument pending
the death of the maker. The Secretary of State's office, at the request of the
authorized person, may cause the information it receives about execution of
any international will to be transmitted to the registry system of another
jurisdiction as identified by the testator, if that other system adheres to
rules protecting the confidentiality of the information similar to those
established in this State.
