Whoever you leave as your beneficiary....

You can write a will leaving your money to whomever you wish. Most people choose to leave it to their close family members, but they're by no means required to. However, if you're married, your spouse may be entitled to a certain percentage of your estate, no matter what the will says.
I'm not passing judgment on your decision - I'm sure you have your reasons - but you might want to discuss this with your family, just so the know what to expect in case something happens to you.
Here's some basic information on the law of wills and trusts, specifically concerning disinheriting a spouse: http://www.legalmatch.com/law-library/article/disinheriting-family-members.html
Currently, 2011, do you need to have a small estate affidavit notarized in Illinois? I think this may have been a recent change.
