What is a requirement for being eligible for a homestead estate in Illinois?

Owning multiple properties
Being a real estate agent
Residing in the property
Having a related real estate license

The correct answer is: Residing in the property

The requirement for being eligible for a homestead estate in Illinois is indeed that the homeowner must reside in the property. This is because a homestead exemption is designed to protect a primary residence from certain creditors and to reduce property taxes. The law emphasizes the need for the individual to live in the property to benefit from these protections. Options like owning multiple properties or being a real estate agent are not relevant to the eligibility for a homestead estate. Similarly, having a real estate license does not pertain to the criteria for claiming a homestead estate. The focus is solely on the fact that the individual must occupy the property as their primary residence to qualify for the benefits associated with a homestead estate.
