A will just decides who gets assets after the creditors. The estate is responsible for all debts. If the estate cannot afford the debts, then they are written off.
However, creditors (even unsecured creditors) have priority over beneficiaries.
Currently, 2011, do you need to have a small estate affidavit notarized in Illinois? I think this may have been a recent change.
