RE: Re: Annual Guardian Report -

[Guest guest]

Illinois statute require court approval of move into residential. This should

have all been explained, including the Annual Report form and process by the

Attorney who did the Guardianship. In addition the Attorney should have provided

to you Illinois Statutory Short Term and Stand By Guardian Declarations.

Subject: Re: Annual Guardian Report -

I have a question kind of re: the guardianship report. I know it's too late, but

does anybody know if you are supposed to contact the court before your child

moves into a facility? Also, when they move out?

How about if you find out there's a facility opening, but you're not given a lot

of time to decide.

Just wanting to know in case there is a next time; also others might want to

know this info.

Thanks & Happy Thanksgiving

As long as you reported the residential placement in the Annual Report, you

should be fine. The Statute however does require court approval.

Oops! Thank you, . My posting to Liz is incorrect, then. I apologize.

Guess I didn't do it right! That is the shortcoming of not using an attorney,

though I have to say that the process was easy and the cost savings was

substantial.

I never heard back from the court after I sent in the last annual guardianship

update with Noah's change of living arrangement.

, is there anything I should do, or should I just leave it be?

Thanks.

Hi Ellen, The reason a guardian is required to request permission from the court

regarding change of placement is to protect the ward or protected person from

being placed in an inappropriate placement.  I know you are thinking " I'd never

place my child in an inappropriate placement " but unfortunately not all

guardians are the same.  Some, out of desperation or greed, transfer their ward

out of their home into an inappropriate placement.  Because this is a

significant change in circumstances, the court wants to take a look at the

change of placement and review the reasons for it, preferably before it happens,

to be sure it is an appropriate move.  I have, however, petitioned the court

after a move was made to ratify the change in placement because placement had to

be made quickly or one would lose the 'bed' or due to an emergency.  Terrie

I am sure you are supposed to report changes of address and anything else of

note to the court, if you are the guardian. I just waited for my annual report,

to update Noah's new living arrangements. I didn't figure it mattered all that

much for a few months difference in reporting the change.
