Guardianship for adults with disabilities in Illinois is regulated to ensure protection and prevent abuse.
The Illinois bill amends the Probate Act of 1975 to ensure that guardianship for adults with disabilities is appointed with their best interests in mind. If guardianship is necessary and the petition is filed by an entity without a recognized relationship to the individual, the court must appoint the State Guardian or county public guardian. The temporary guardianship lasts no more than 120 days, with extensions possible under specific conditions. The individual has the right to petition for revocation of the temporary guardianship at any time.
