§ 11a-18.2.
Sec. 11a-18.2. Duties of standby guardian of a person with a disability. (a) Before a standby guardian of a person with a disability may act, the standby guardian must be appointed by the court of the proper county and, in the case of a standby guardian of the estate of the person with a disability, the standby guardian must give the bond prescribed in subsection (c) of Section 11a-3.1 and Section 12-2. (b) The standby guardian shall not have any duties or authority to act until the standby guardian receives knowledge of the death or consent of the guardian of the person with a disability, or the inability of the guardian of the person with a disability to make and carry out day-to-day care decisions concerning the person with a disability for whom the standby guardian has been appointed. This inability of the guardian of the person with a disability to make and carry out day-to-day care decisions may be communicated either by the guardian's own admission or by the written certification of the guardian's attending physician. Immediately upon receipt of that knowledge, the standby guardian shall assume all duties as guardian of the person with a disability as previously determined by the order appointing the standby guardian, and as set forth in Sections 11a-17 and 11a-18, and the standby guardian of the person shall have the authority to act as guardian of the person without direction of court for a period of up to 60 days, provided that the authority of the standby guardian may be limited or terminated by a court of competent jurisdiction. (c) Within 60 days of the standby guardian's receipt of knowledge of the death or consent of the guardian of the person with a disability, or the inability of the guardian of the person with a disability to make and carry out day-to-day care decisions concerning the person with a disability, the standby guardian shall file or cause to be filed a petition for the appointment of a guardian of the person or estate, or both, of the person with a disability under Section 11a-3.
