The Illinois Order Regarding Extension of Warship Beyond age 19 is a court order issued by the Juvenile Court in the State of Illinois that permits a minor to remain under the guardianship of the state or a designated guardian even after reaching the age of 19. This order is intended to protect the rights of minors who may not be able to take care of themselves due to physical or mental disabilities, or those who may need additional support due to behavioral issues. The order may be granted for a period of up to two years and can be renewed if necessary. The order may be issued in two different forms: an “extension of guardianship” order, which allows a minor to remain under the guardianship of the state or a designated guardian for up to two years; and a “continued guardianship” order, which allows the guardianship to continue beyond the two-year period. In both cases, the court must consider all relevant factors, including the minor’s best interests and the potential for harm to the minor, before granting the order. Both types of orders require the ward’s guardian to submit a written plan to the court outlining the specific goals for the ward’s care and the steps that will be taken to ensure the ward’s safety and well-being. The plan must also include a timeline for the ward’s transition into adulthood, as well as an assessment of the ward’s educational needs and vocational opportunities.
