Order appointing Plenary Guardian Of a Person With a Disability

An Illinois Order appointing Plenary Guardian of a Person With a Disability is a court order issued by an Illinois court to appoint a guardian, usually a family member or friend, to care for a person with a disability. This type of order is necessary when a person is unable to care for themselves due to their disability, and is used to protect the individual's rights and provide for their care. The order grants the guardian the authority to make decisions on the person's behalf, including decisions about finances, medical care, and living arrangements. There are two types of Illinois Order appointing Plenary Guardian of a Person With a Disability: one for an incapacitated adult, and one for a minor under the age of 18. The order for an incapacitated adult will appoint a guardian to manage the adult's affairs, while the order for a minor will appoint a guardian to manage the minor's affairs until they reach the age of 18. In both cases, the court must review evidence that the person is disabled and unable to make decisions for themselves. The court must also review evidence that the proposed guardian is suitable and that they are willing to take on the responsibilities of being a guardian. Once the court is satisfied, it will issue the order appointing the guardian.
