Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

205 ILCS 620/4-2

    (205 ILCS 620/4-2) (from Ch. 17, par. 1554-2)
    Sec. 4-2. Foreign corporation; eligibility. Any foreign corporation may act in this State as trustee, executor, administrator, administrator to collect, guardian, or in any other like fiduciary capacity, whether the appointment is by will, deed, court order or otherwise, without complying with any laws of this State relating to the qualification of corporations organized under the laws of this State to conduct a trust business or laws relating to the qualification of foreign corporations, provided only (1) such foreign corporation is authorized by the laws of the state of its organization or domicile to act as a fiduciary in that state, and (2) a corporation organized under the laws of this State, a national banking association having its principal place of business in this State, and a federal savings and loan association or federal savings bank having its principal place of business in this State and authorized to act as a fiduciary in this State, may, in such other state, act in a similar fiduciary capacity or capacities, as the case may be, upon conditions and qualifications which the Commissioner finds are not unduly restrictive when compared to those imposed by the laws of Illinois. Any foreign corporation eligible to act in a fiduciary capacity in this State pursuant to the provisions of this Act, shall be deemed qualified to accept and execute trusts in this State within the meaning of this Act and the Probate Act of 1975, approved August 7, 1975, as amended. No foreign corporation shall be permitted to act as trustee, executor, administrator, administrator to collect, guardian or in any other like fiduciary capacity in this State except as provided in Article IV of this Act; however, any foreign corporation actually acting in any such fiduciary capacity in this State on July 13, 1953, although not eligible to so act pursuant to the provisions of this Article IV, may continue to act as fiduciary in that particular trust or estate until such time as it has completed its duties thereunder.
