Bill > HB4463

This bill amends the Probate Act of 1975 to grant parties involved in guardianship proceedings, specifically the petitioner, cross-petitioner, or respondent, the right to request a one-time substitution of the appointed guardian ad litem, who is an individual appointed by the court to represent the best interests of a party, often a minor or incapacitated person, in legal proceedings. This substitution must be granted if the request is made either before the guardian ad litem officially files their appearance with the court or at the first court appearance after their appointment, whichever occurs later, ensuring a more timely process for replacing a guardian ad litem if a party has concerns.
