An adult man in Illinois has been diagnosed with mild mental retardation. A court deemed him mentally incompetent, and appointed him a guardian (a family friend). The guardian is not making decisions that are in the man’s best interest (nothing immoral or illegal, just not advocating for what is best for the man).
To whom would I petition to remedy this? Would I have to sue the Office of Guardianship and Advocacy? Do I just file a petition in my county’s Family Court? Can I anonymously file an amicus brief?
You are not my lawyer, I am not your client, blah blah blah.
Not my area, but I can narrow it down some. If a court appointed a a guardian, any modification of that order would have to be made by the court. Normally, this would be the Circuit Court of the county that issued the original order.
Potentially, if the disabled person has moved to a new county, the proceedings may end up there, but your county has no relevance, except possibly by coincidence.
This is one where you should talk to a lawyer in real life, who practices in this area.
