Case Law Examples from the Office of the State Guardian

Case Law Examples from the Office of the State Guardian


The Office of State Guardian (OSG) is the largest public guardianship agency of its kind in the United States, serving nearly 5,300 adult disabled wards. With cases in virtually every Illinois county, the Office of State Guardian handles the personal, financial, and legal affairs of developmentally disabled, mentally ill and elderly persons with disablilities.

The OSG website has useful general information on guardianship issues, much of which would apply to wards under family and/or private guardianships as well.

The OSG website is:

Included are previous court rulings regarding trusts, POA's, visitation restrictions, expectations of GALs and attorneys, guardianship appointments, attorneys' fees, guardian fees, end of life decisions, removal of guardians, restoration of legal rights, and other guardianship issues.
