In partnership with Youth Services Glenview/Northbrook, NSLAC is pleased to host a Short-Term Guardianship Clinic for guardians and their children on April 23 from 4:30 pm-6:30 pm
Short-term guardianships are a means for parents to ensure the care of their minor children upon a particular event occurring. For example, if a parent is traveling out of town, having a medical procedure, is detained/incarcerated, or simply unavailable for a specified duration of time. The advantage of short-term guardianships is that they do not require a court appearance to take effect.
As a pro bono attorney, you would meet with a parent or parents for up to one-hour to discuss short-term guardianship as a possible safety planning mechanism for their family. If they would like to proceed with getting a short-term guardianship for their child or children, you will help them fill out the Illinois Appointment of Short-Term Guardian form. Each child will need one form. A virtual training was held live on Friday, March 29th, in case you missed it, you can find the recorded training HERE. This training is eligible for Illinois CLE credit.
