APPT-PUBLIC GUARDIAN

Summary

The bill amends the Illinois Power of Attorney Act so that any existing power of attorney is automatically suspended if the Office of State Guardian or a public guardian is appointed for the principal. It lets a court revoke the power only after proper notice to the agent, and allows the agent or a concerned person to petition to lift the suspension if it is in the principal’s best interest. This protects people with disabilities by clarifying who can act for them during guardianship proceedings.
