An Illinois Order Appointing Guardian For Minor is a court order issued by an Illinois court to appoint an individual as a guardian for a minor. The order is used when the minor does not have a parent or legal guardian, or when the court determines that the minor's interests would best be served by appointing a guardian. The order will specify the rights and responsibilities of the appointed guardian, such as making decisions on behalf of the minor, providing care and support, and managing the minor's property and assets. There are two types of Illinois Order Appointing Guardian For Minor: Temporary and Permanent. A Temporary Order will be issued when a minor is in immediate need of a guardian, and will remain in effect until a permanent guardian is appointed. A Permanent Order will be issued when a permanent guardian is appointed and will remain in effect until the minor turns 18 or is otherwise legally emancipated.
