Summons For Appointment Of Guardian Notice Of Rights Of Respondent

SUMMONS FOR APPOINTMENT OF GUARDIAN. This form is used in the Circuit Court of Grundy County, Illinois, in cases where a petition has been filed to declare an individual a disabled person and appoint a guardian to make decisions on their behalf. The Respondent (the person alleged to be disabled) is formally notified of the guardianship proceedings and their legal rights in the matter. The form includes important information such as the date, time, and location of the court hearing, the Judge's contact details, and the potential consequences of guardianship, including the loss of decision-making authority over personal, financial, and medical matters. The Respondent is informed of their right to attend the hearing, hire an attorney, request a jury trial, present evidence, cross-examine witnesses, request an independent evaluation, and suggest a preferred guardian. The document emphasizes that attending the hearing is crucial if the Respondent does not want a guardian or prefers someone else to be appointed. The summons also provides guidance on mandatory e-filing requirements and how to seek assistance if needed. www.FormsWorkflow.com
