An Illinois Order Appointing Temporary Guardian for Disabled Person is a legal document issued by a court in the state of Illinois. This order appoints a temporary guardian to act on behalf of a disabled person who is unable to make decisions or act on their own behalf. This order is typically issued when there is an urgent need to make decisions for the disabled person in their best interests. There are two types of Illinois Order Appointing Temporary Guardian for Disabled Person. The first is called an Emergency Temporary Guardianship, which is usually issued in cases of immediate danger or threat to the disabled person. This order appoints a guardian to act on behalf of the disabled person for a period of up to 30 days. The second type of order is called a Plenary Temporary Guardianship, which is issued when a more long-term guardianship is needed. This order appoints a guardian to act on behalf of the disabled person for a period of up to one year. In both cases, the court will appoint a temporary guardian after considering the best interests of the disabled person. The guardian must be a reliable and responsible adult who is able to understand the disabled person’s needs and make decisions in their best interests. The court will also consider the wishes of the disabled person or their family, if any are known. Once the order is granted, the guardian will have the legal authority to make decisions on behalf of the disabled person, such as making medical decisions or handling financial matters.
