Consult with a local elder law attorney in IL. My recommendation woudl be to draft a will which states how you want your property to pass. Some states have a provision that allow a wife to challenge, or "elect against"the will of a spouse who has disinherited them. However, it does not sound like you are disinheriting her totally.
