Order Appointing Guardian Of Minor {CCP 0394}

CCP 0394 - ORDER APPOINTING GUARDIAN OF MINOR. This form is used in the Probate Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, to officially appoint a legal guardian for a minor. This order is issued following the filing and review of a verified petition and, if necessary, the giving or waiving of notice to interested parties. The form allows the court to designate a guardian over the minor’s person, estate, or both, depending on the circumstances. The order also addresses whether a bond is required from the guardian and directs that letters of guardianship be issued, granting the guardian legal authority to act. If the appointment involves the minor’s estate, the court may require the guardian to file an inventory of assets and deposit funds in a restricted account that cannot be accessed without court approval or until the minor reaches adulthood. The guardian may also be required to file a financial report detailing the management of the minor’s funds, after which the court may discharge the guardian and close the estate. www.FormsWorkflow.com
