HB4463

HB4463 allows for the substitution of a guardian ad litem in guardianship cases in Illinois.

HB4463 amends the Probate Act of 1975 to allow a petitioner, cross-petitioner, or respondent to request a one-time substitution of a guardian ad litem in guardianship cases. This substitution must be granted if the motion is made before the guardian ad litem files an appearance or at the first court appearance, whichever is later. The court will appoint a guardian ad litem to report on the respondent's best interests, unless it determines that such appointment is unnecessary.
