Amends the Probate Act of 1975. Provides that a will may be renounced by the testator's surviving spouse, but only if the will contains a provision for the benefit of the surviving spouse. Provides that if a will is renounced by the testator's surviving spouse (instead of if a will is renounced by the testator's surviving spouse whether or not the will contains any provision for the benefit of the surviving spouse), the surviving spouse is entitled to the following share of the testator's estate after payment of all just claims: 1/3 of the entire estate if the testator leaves a descendant or 1/2 of the entire estate if the testator leaves no descendant.
