Illinois Compiled Statutes - Full Text
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.
(750 ILCS 65/9) (from Ch. 40, par. 1009)
Sec. 9.
Property.
A married person may own in his or her own
right real and personal property obtained by descent, gift, or purchase and
may manage, sell, and convey that property to the same extent and in the
same manner as an unmarried person. When husband and wife live together,
however, no transfer or conveyance of goods and chattels between the
husband and wife shall be valid as against the rights and interests of any
third person unless the transfer or conveyance is in writing and filed in
the same manner as security interests are required to be filed by the laws
of this State in cases where the possession of the property is to remain
with the person giving the security.
