AI Summary

  • Amends the Probate Act of 1975 to allow one of the evaluators in a guardianship disability report to be a licensed clinical psychologist instead of requiring a licensed physician.

  • Permits a licensed clinical psychologist's report (in addition to a physician's report) to support a petition allowing a ward to execute a will or codicil, provided the report states the ward possesses testamentary capacity.

  • Maintains existing requirements that evaluations be performed within 3 months of petition filing and include assessment of the respondent's mental, physical, and educational condition and adaptive behavior.

  • Preserves confidentiality protections for disability reports while allowing access to the court, appellate courts, respondent, petitioner, guardian, attorneys, and guardian ad litem.
