I direct that the administration of my estate be conducted as an independent administration under Article XXVIII of the Illinois Probate Act of 1975 (755 ILCS 5/28-1 et seq.). I authorize my Executor to administer my estate without further court order, supervision, or approval, except as required for the admission of this Will to probate, the issuance of letters of office, and any matter that the Executor or an interested person elects to bring before the court. Nothing in this direction is intended to waive or override any heir's or legatee's statutory right under 755 ILCS 5/28-4 to petition the court for the termination or supervision of independent administration, and any such right remains exercisable notwithstanding this clause.

NOTICE TO THE INDIVIDUAL SIGNING THE ILLINOIS STATUTORY SHORT FORM POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR PROPERTY. PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY. The form that you will be signing is a legal document. It is governed by the Illinois Power of Attorney Act. If there is anything about this form that you do not understand, you should ask a lawyer to explain it to you. The purpose of this Power of Attorney is to give your designated "agent" broad powers to handle your financial affairs, which may include the power to pledge, sell, or dispose of any of your real or personal property, even without your consent or any advance notice to you. When using the Statutory Short Form, you may name successor agents, but you may not name co-agents. This form does not impose a duty upon your agent to handle your financial affairs, so it is important that you select an agent who will agree to do this for you. It is also important to select an agent whom you trust, since you are giving that agent control over your financial assets and property. Any agent who does act for you has a duty to act in good faith for your benefit and to use due care, competence, and diligence. He or she must also act in accordance with the law and with the directions in this form. Your agent must keep a record of all receipts, disbursements, and significant actions taken as your agent. Unless you specifically limit the period of time that this Power of Attorney will be in effect, your agent may exercise the powers given to him or her throughout your lifetime, both before and after you become incapacitated. A court, however, can take away the powers of your agent if it finds that the agent is not acting properly. You may also revoke this Power of Attorney if you wish. This Power of Attorney does not authorize your agent to appear in court for you as an attorney-at-law or otherwise to engage in the practice of law unless he or she is a licensed attorney who is authorized to practice law in Illinois. The powers you give your agent are explained more fully in Section 3-4 of the Illinois Power of Attorney Act. This form is a part of that law. The "NOTE" paragraphs throughout this form are instructions. You are not required to sign this Power of Attorney, but it will not take effect without your signature. You should not sign this Power of Attorney if you do not understand everything in it, and what your agent will be able to do if you do sign it. Please place your initials on the following line indicating that you have read this Notice: ..................... Principal's initials

If you have special skills or expertise, you must use those special skills and expertise when acting for the principal. You must disclose your identity as an agent whenever you act for the principal by writing or printing the name of the principal and signing your own name "as Agent" in the following manner: "(Principal's Name) by (Your Name) as Agent" The meaning of the powers granted to you is contained in Section 3-4 of the Illinois Power of Attorney Act, which is incorporated by reference into the body of the power of attorney for property document. If you violate your duties as agent or act outside the authority granted to you, you may be liable for any damages, including attorney's fees and costs, caused by your violation. If there is anything about this document or your duties that you do not understand, you should seek legal advice from an attorney.

Illinois grants the agent mental-health treatment authority by default. The Illinois Statutory Short Form Power of Attorney for Health Care (755 ILCS 45/4-10(b)) recites that the agent may decide to "accept, withdraw, or decline treatment for any physical or mental condition of mine, including life-and-death decisions," may agree to admit or discharge the principal from any institution "including a mental health facility," and has "complete access to my medical and mental health records." A principal who wants to limit mental-health authority must strike or modify those clauses, not opt in.
