Sec. 11a-18.3. Duties of short-term guardian of a person with a disability.
(a) Immediately upon the effective date of the appointment of a short-term
guardian, the short-term guardian shall assume all duties as short-term
guardian of the person with a disability as provided in this Section. The short-term
guardian of the person shall have authority to act as short-term guardian,
without direction of the court, for the duration of the appointment, which in
no case shall exceed a cumulative total of 60 days in any 12-month period for
all short-term guardians appointed by the guardian. The authority of the
short-term guardian may be limited or terminated by a court of competent
jurisdiction.
(b) Unless further specifically limited by the instrument appointing the
short-term guardian, a short-term guardian shall have the authority to act as a
guardian of the person of a person with a disability as prescribed in Section 11a-17,
but shall not have any authority to act as guardian of the estate of a person with a disability, except that a short-term guardian shall have the authority to apply for
and receive on behalf of the person with a disability benefits to which the person with a disability may be entitled from or under federal, State, or local organizations or
programs.
