Short description: 
PROBATE-GUARDIAN-DISABLD ADLT                                              

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Probate Act of 1975.  Provides that the probate  court      
   may  authorize the guardian to exercise powers of the estate of a ward      
   after notice to all interested persons and all other persons (now  all      
   other  persons  interested)  as  the court directs.  Provides that the      
   guardian may convey,  release,  or  disclaim  interests  in  property,      
   including contingent and expectant interests, marital property rights,      
   and  any  right of survivorship (now contingent and expectant interest      
   in property, including  marital  property  rights  and  any  right  of      
   survivorship).   Provides  that a guardian may enter into contracts on      
   behalf of the ward (now into contracts).  Provides that  guardian  may      
   exercise  the  ward's  right to an elective share in the estate of the      
   ward's deceased spouse through renunciation (now to claim or  disclaim      
   an  elective  share in the estate of his or her deceased spouse and to      
   renounce any interest by testate or intestate succession or  by  inter      
   vivos  transfer).   Provides  that  the guardian may modify the ward's      
   will or revocable trust, as the court may deem advisable (now  as  the      
   court  may deem advisable in light of changes in applicable tax laws.)      
   Makes other changes.
