This article covers alternatives to guardianship in Illinois. Guardianship should be a last resort when no other alternatives are available. Illinois has options that are less restrictive. One of those alternatives is the Health Care Surrogate Act.
This article is the first in a series of nine articles explaining the Eight Goals of a Good Estate Plan. The next eight articles in this series will each examine one of the Eight Goals of a Good Estate Plan in detail and explain the tools we use to accomplish that goal.

The baseline rule is that the disabled adult’s home state has jurisdiction over the guardianship proceeding. The disabled adult’s home state is defined as a state in which the disabled adult was physically present for at least six consecutive months immediately prior to the filing of the guardianship proceeding. A temporary absence counts toward this six month period. If the disabled adult does not have a “home state” because he or she has not lived in the same state for six consecutive months prior to filing the guardianship proceeding a state with a significant connection to the disabled adult may assert jurisdiction.
In this article, we discuss life events that may require a review of your estate plan. We discuss updating your estate plan when you get married, when you buy your first home, when you have a child, when your children reach adulthood, after a divorce, when you acquire new assets, when you want to change how your assets will be distributed when you pass, when you are ready to plan for long-term care.
A treatment plan is a detailed document that the facility must create within the first three days upon admittance of a patient that has been involuntarily committed. Treatment plans are shaped to each patient’s needs, therefore they vary from person to person. Once the treatment plan is complete (which should be in the first three days), the facility is obligated to give you a copy of the entire plan.
