Overview of Short-Term Guardianships
Let’s say you are going camping in a remote location for a week and leaving your children with Grandma. Your son falls on the playground and breaks an arm. Grandma might have a difficult time dealing with the emergency without specific permission from you to authorize your son’s medical care. Illinois provides a useful form known as a Statutory Form for Appointment of Short-term Guardian. Check with your attorney: Does your state have a form that will accomplish the same goal?
