The Illinois Order Allowing Compensation for Guardian ad Item is a court order issued by an Illinois court that allows a guardian ad item to receive compensation for services rendered to a minor, incapacitated person, or ward. This order may be issued when a guardian ad item is appointed to represent the best interests of a person who is unable to represent themselves, such as a minor child or an incapacitated person. The court order will set out the amount of compensation to be paid to the guardian ad item as well as the method of payment. There are two types of Illinois Order Allowing Compensation for Guardian ad Item: one for a minor child and one for an incapacitated person. The order for a minor child will typically set out the amount of compensation to be paid to the guardian ad item for their services in caring for the minor, as well as the method of payment. The court order for an incapacitated person may also set out the amount of compensation to be paid to the guardian ad item, as well as the method of payment, but it will also provide for reimbursement of the guardian ad item for any expenses incurred while representing the incapacitated person.
