 1        AN ACT concerning probate law.

 2        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section  5.  The  Probate  Act  of  1975  is  amended  by
 5    changing Section 11a-6 as follows:

 6        (755 ILCS 5/11a-6) (from Ch. 110 1/2, par. 11a-6)
 7        Sec.  11a-6.   Designation of Guardian.)  A person, while
 8    of sound mind and memory, may designate in writing a  person,
 9    corporation  or  public agency qualified to act under Section
10    11a-5, to be appointed as guardian or as  successor  guardian
11    of  his  person  or of his estate or both, in the event he is
12    adjudged to be a disabled person.   The  designation  may  be
13    proved  by  any competent evidence, but if it is executed and
14    attested in the same manner as a will, it  shall  have  prima
15    facie  validity.   If the court finds that the appointment of
16    the one designated will serve the best interests and  welfare
17    of  the  ward,  the  court  it  shall make the appointment in
18    accordance  with  the  designation.   The  selection  of  the
19    guardian shall be in the discretion of the court  whether  or
20    not a designation is made.
