Answer:
The simple will you make in Oregon, in which you give your interest in a farm in Illinois to the person(s) you designate, will dispose of the real or personal property you own in Oregon, in Illinois, or in any other state in the nation. The full-faith-and-credit clause of the United States Constitution requires each state to recognize and enforce as legally valid those acts done in another state that are valid under the laws of that other state.
