    • The majority ignored the question of Mrs. Doyle's attempted revocation, finding instead that the court had "implicitly revoked" the power of attorney under a provision in the Power of Attorney Act (755 ILCS 45/2-10) allowing an agent to be removed for cause.
  • 755 ILCS 5/11a Probate Act of 1975.

    • Sec. 11a‑4.
      Temporary guardian.
      Prior to the appointment of a guardian
      under this Article, pending an appeal in relation to the
      appointment, or
      pending the
      completion of a citation proceeding brought pursuant to Section 23‑3 of this
      Act,
      the court may appoint a temporary guardian upon a showing of the necessity
      therefor for the immediate welfare and protection of the alleged
      disabled person or his estate
      on such notice and subject to such conditions as the court may prescribe.
      In determining the necessity for temporary guardianship, the immediate
      welfare and protection of the alleged disabled person and his or her estate
      shall be
      of paramount concern, and the interests of the petitioner, any care provider,
      or any other party shall not outweigh the interests of the alleged disabled
      person.
      The temporary guardian shall have all of the powers and duties of a guardian
      of the person or of the estate which are specifically enumerated by court
      order. The court order shall state the actual harm identified by the court
      that necessitates temporary guardianship. The temporary guardianship shall
      expire within 60 days after the
      appointment or whenever a guardian is regularly appointed, whichever occurs
      first.
      Except pending the disposition on appeal of an adjudication of disability, no
      extension shall be granted.
      However, the ward shall have the right any time after the appointment
      of a temporary guardian is made to petition the court to revoke the appointment
      of the temporary guardian.


    • (e) Absent court order pursuant to the Illinois Power of Attorney
      Act directing a guardian to exercise
      powers of the principal under an agency that survives disability, the
      guardian will have no power, duty or liability with respect to any property
      subject to the agency. This subsection (e) applies to all agencies,
      whenever and wherever executed.

    No PACE program in Illinois. This other alternative, Social Managed Care Plan, tends to require Medicare A and B and there are four providers. Would it cover part of a Margaret arrangement?

  • 755 ILCS 45/ Illinois Power of Attorney Act.

    • Sec. 2‑10.
      Agency‑court relationship.
      Upon petition by any interested
      person (including the agent), with such notice to interested persons as the
      court directs and a finding by the court that the principal
      lacks the capacity to control or revoke the agency: (a) if the court finds
      that the agent is not acting for the benefit of the principal in accordance
      with the terms of the agency or that the agent's action or inaction has
      caused or threatens substantial harm to the principal's person or property
      in a manner not authorized or intended by the principal, the court may
      order a guardian of the principal's person or estate to exercise any powers
      of the principal under the agency, including the power to revoke the
      agency, or may enter such other orders without appointment of a guardian as
      the court deems necessary to provide for the best interests of the
      principal; or (b) if the court finds that the agency requires
      interpretation, the court may construe the agency and instruct the agent,
      but the court may not amend the agency. Absent court order directing a
      guardian to exercise powers of the principal under the agency, a guardian
      will have no power, duty or liability with respect to any property subject
      to the agency or any personal or health care matters covered by the agency.
      Proceedings under this Section shall be commenced in the county where the
      guardian was appointed or, if no Illinois guardian is acting, then in the
      county where the agent resides or, if the agent does not reside in
      Illinois, then in any county.

    Emphasizes that agencies tend to trump guardianships, and that absent allegations of acting against the principal's interests, courts will not mess with a POA. Detail on 2-10; who has standing to contest.
