(755 ILCS 20/2) (from Ch. 49, par. 2)
Sec. 2.
In case the estate consists of personal property, letters of
office shall be granted thereon, as in other cases, and the same
shall be administered in conformity with the probate laws of this State.
Should there be any balance left in the possession of the
administrator after
the payment of debts and costs of administration, the administrator shall
report the same to the circuit court, with a statement of all the facts
within his knowledge as to the heirship of the decedent, which facts shall
constitute a part of his report, and be filed in the
court; and the court shall enter
an order directing
the administrator to pay over the balance found in his possession
to the county
treasurer of the county, taking his receipt therefor, which receipt shall
be filed with the county clerk and entered of record, and shall be a good
and sufficient voucher to the administrator. The county clerk shall also
charge the amount to the county treasurer as an escheat fund, specially
designating from whose estate the same was derived.
