Order Appointing Standby Guardian Of Minor {CCP 0005}

CCP 0005 - ORDER APPOINTING STANDBY GUARDIAN OF MINOR. This form is used in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Probate Division, to appoint a standby guardian for a minor. A standby guardian is designated to assume guardianship responsibilities in the event that the minor’s parent or current guardian is no longer able to care for the child due to death, consent, or incapacity. The order ensures that the appointed standby guardian has taken an oath or affirmation to fulfill their duties but does not grant immediate authority to act. The standby guardian’s authority becomes effective only upon receiving knowledge of the parent’s or predecessor guardian’s inability to provide care. If the standby guardian is appointed for the minor’s estate, they must file a bond before assuming their duties. If appointed for the minor’s person, they are granted temporary authority for up to 60 days, subject to further court orders. www.FormsWorkflow.com
