An Illinois Order Appointing Standby Guardian as Plenary Guardian of Disabled Person is a court order issued by a Judge of the Illinois Circuit Court that appoints a Standby Guardian as the Plenary Guardian of a Disabled Person. The order is necessary when a disabled person’s legal rights and decisions need to be managed by a guardian. The order is issued when the disabled person is unable to make decisions due to physical or mental incapacity. There are two different types of Illinois Order Appointing Standby Guardian as Plenary Guardian of Disabled Person: an immediate plenary guardian order, which appoints a plenary guardian to act on behalf of the disabled person immediately upon the order being issued; and a standby plenary guardian order, which appoints a plenary guardian to act on behalf of the disabled person once the disabled person’s capacity to make decisions has been further diminished. The order will include the name of the Standby Guardian, the disabled person’s name, the date of the order, and the signature of the Judge issuing the order. The order will also name the Standby Guardian’s powers, responsibilities, and duties as the Plenary Guardian of the disabled person.
