House Amendment 001

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Probate Act of 1975. Provides that unless there is a court order to the contrary, the guardian, consistent with specified standards, shall use reasonable efforts to notify the ward's known adult children, who have requested notification and provided contact information, of the ward's admission to a hospital or hospice program, the ward's death, and the arrangements for the disposition of the ward's remains. Provides that if a guardian unreasonably prevents an adult child of the ward from visiting the ward, the court, upon a verified petition by an adult child, may order the guardian to permit visitation between the ward and the adult child if the court finds that the visitation is in the ward's best interests. Provides that in making its determination, the court shall consider specified standards. Provides that the new provisions do not apply to duly appointed public guardians or the Office of State Guardian.
