An Illinois Order Appointing Guardian is a type of court order issued by the Circuit Court in Illinois that appoints a guardian to oversee the affairs of a legally incapacitated person or minor child. The order specifies the duties and responsibilities of the guardian, as well as the scope of his or her authority. It also outlines the guardian's rights and powers, including the right to make decisions on behalf of the incapacitated person or minor child. The order also defines the legal relationship between the guardian and the person or child he or she is appointed to manage. There are two types of Illinois Order Appointing Guardian: the "Full Guardianship Order" and the "Guardianship of the Estate Order." The Full Guardianship Order grants the guardian full authority over the person's or child's personal and financial matters, while the Guardianship of the Estate Order grants the guardian authority only over the person's or child's financial matters.
