Designation of Guardian.) A person, while of |
| 8 | | sound mind
and
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 of |
| 11 | | his person or of his
estate or both, in the event he is
|
| 12 | | adjudged to be a disabled person. The designation may be proved
|
| 13 | | by any competent
evidence, but if it is executed and attested |
| 14 | | in the same manner as a
will, it shall have prima facie |
| 15 | | validity. If the court finds that the
appointment of the one |
| 16 | | designated will serve the best interests and
welfare of the |
| 17 | | ward, it shall make the appointment in accordance with
the |
| 18 | | designation. The selection of the guardian shall be in the
|
| 19 | | discretion of the court whether or not a designation is made. |
