Petition To Extend Temporary Guardianship Of Alleged Person With A Disability {CCP 0219}

CCP 0219 - PETITION TO EXTEND TEMPORARY GUARDIANSHIP OF ALLEGED PERSON WITH A DISABILITY. This form is used in the Probate Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, under Section 11a-4 of the Illinois Probate Act. This petition is filed when a temporary guardian has already been appointed to care for or manage the affairs of an individual who has not yet been formally adjudicated as a person with a disability but is believed to be in need of protection. The form allows the petitioner—often a concerned relative, friend, or agency—to request that the temporary guardianship be extended beyond its initial duration (which typically cannot exceed 60 days unless extended by the court). The petitioner must explain why continuing the guardianship is in the best interest of the respondent, typically due to ongoing risks such as potential abuse, neglect, self-neglect, or exploitation. The form allows for a request to modify the powers or duties of the temporary guardian if necessary. www.FormsWorkflow.com
