In Illinois, a guardianship may be pursued in probate court for either an adult with disability or for a minor. Guardianships are appropriate when an individual is not capable of caring for him or herself. The guardian is responsible for making decisions for that person’s daily care and medical treatment, and the guardian can also be responsible for investing and managing that individual’s finances. Because of these great responsibilities, the Court requires annual reports and accountings to be completed by the guardian.
All of these responsibilities can be very overwhelming for a guardian to take on. You might even be wondering if a guardianship is right for you and your loved one. Richtman & Richtman, P.C. can help you every step of the way. Call now to set up an appointment so we can answer your questions now.
