(20 ILCS 3955/30) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 730)
Sec. 30.
When appointed by the court pursuant to the "Probate Act of
1975", approved August 7, 1975, as now or hereafter amended, the State Guardian
shall serve as guardian, either plenary or limited; temporary guardian; testamentary
guardian; or successor guardian; of the person or the estate, or both, of
a ward. If nomination is testamentary the State Guardian shall be notified
in writing at the time of the death
of the testator. The Office of State Guardian may file a petition for
its own appointment, or for the appointment of any other person,
if the State Guardian determines that the filing of the petition may
avoid the need for State guardianship.
In addition, the State Guardian may assist the court, as the
court may
request, in proceedings for the appointment of a guardian and
in the supervision of persons and agencies which have been appointed as
guardians.
