Laws

  • Maximum Term: No statutory limit.
  • Signing Requirements: Must be signed in the presence of one witness and notarized.[1]
  • Guardianship is Court Appointed: In Illinois, a guardian must be appointed by the circuit courts. A standalone POA will only be supplemental to the actual petition. However, the court may issue a ruling that incorporates the POA into the final order or allow the POA to serve as a temporary grant of powers until a final decision is made.
