Order Adjudicating Disability And Appointing Guardian

ORDER OF ADJUDICATION OF DISABILITY AND APPOINTING GUARDIAN. This form from the Circuit Court of McLean County, Illinois is used to declare an individual as a disabled person and to appoint a guardian to manage their personal and/or financial affairs. The order is issued following a verified petition and a court hearing where evidence is reviewed to determine that the person meets the legal definition of disability under Illinois law (755 ILCS 5/11a-2). Once the court finds the individual to be disabled due to a specified reason, it appoints either a plenary or limited guardian for the person, the estate, or both, depending on the needs of the disabled person. The order may include requirements such as the filing of an oath and bond, completing mandatory training for guardians, submitting an inventory of the disabled person's assets, and filing ongoing annual reports or accountings. It may also authorize the guardian to make residential placement decisions or detail any specific duties and restrictions applicable to a limited guardianship. www.FormsWorkflow.com
