HB2825 Engrossed LRB102 12121 LNS 17458 b
AN ACT concerning civil law.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 10. The Probate Act of 1975 is amended by changing
Section 11-10.1 as follows:
(755 ILCS 5/11-10.1) (from Ch. 110 1/2, par. 11-10.1)
Sec. 11-10.1. Procedure for appointment of a standby
guardian or a guardian of a minor.
(a) Unless excused by the court for good cause shown, it is
the duty of the petitioner to give notice of the time and place
of the hearing on the petition, in person or by mail, to the
minor, if the minor is 14 years, or older, and to the relatives
and the short-term guardian of the minor whose names and
addresses are stated in the petition, not less than 7 days
before the hearing, but failure to give notice to any relative
is not jurisdictional.
(b) In any proceeding for the appointment of a standby
guardian or a guardian, the court may appoint a guardian ad
litem to testify or submit a written report to the court
regarding his or her recommendations in accordance with the
best interests of the child. The report shall be made
available to all parties. The guardian ad litem may be called
as a witness for purposes of cross-examination regarding the

litem shall investigate the facts of the case and interview
the child and the parties represent the minor in the
proceeding.
