1 AN ACT concerning probate law.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Probate Act of 1975 is amended by
5 changing Section 11a-6 as follows:
6 (755 ILCS 5/11a-6) (from Ch. 110 1/2, par. 11a-6)
7 Sec. 11a-6. Designation of Guardian.) A person, while
8 of sound mind and memory, may designate in writing a person,
9 corporation or public agency qualified to act under Section
10 11a-5, to be appointed as guardian or as successor guardian
11 of his person or of his estate or both, in the event he is
12 adjudged to be a disabled person. The designation may be
13 proved by any competent evidence, but if it is executed and
14 attested in the same manner as a will, it shall have prima
15 facie validity. If the court finds that the appointment of
16 the one designated will serve the best interests and welfare
17 of the ward, the court it shall make the appointment in
18 accordance with the designation. The selection of the
19 guardian shall be in the discretion of the court whether or
20 not a designation is made.
