Guardianship

ILLINOIS GUARDIANSHIP LAW ATTORNEY

A Guardianship gives someone the legal authority to act on behalf of a disabled person. Guardians are appointed by the court.

The court can appoint a guardian of the person and/or estate. There are numerous reasons for pursuing guardianship, including:

• A disabled person may not have executed a power of attorney and needs assistance with personal or financial matters.
• Under some circumstances, a family member can be appointed guardian for a minor child or children.
• Once a disabled child turns 18, the child’s parents would need to be named the child's guardian to continue to have legal authority over their child.
• If a child receives a personal injury award or other significant assets, he or she would need a guardian to manage those assets.
