An Illinois Order appointing Standby Guardian as Limited Guardian of Disabled Person is a court document that is issued by the state of Illinois which authorizes a Standby Guardian to become a Limited Guardian of a disabled person. This document is used when the disabled person's current guardian is no longer able to fulfill his/her duties due to death, illness, incapacity, or other circumstances. The order grants the Standby Guardian the authority to make decisions on behalf of the disabled person in areas such as health care, financial and educational matters, and other matters as specified in the order. The order will state the specific duties and powers of the Standby Guardian, as well as any limitations. There are two main types of Illinois Order appointing Standby Guardian as Limited Guardian of Disabled Person: plenary and limited. A plenary order grants the Standby Guardian full authority to act on behalf of the disabled person in all areas, while a limited order grants the Standby Guardian authority to act in specific areas only.
