REDETERMINATIONS OF COMPETENCY
§ 11.151. Procedure for redetermination.
The Guardian Officer shall insure that competency redeterminations are made in accordance with these sections. These redeterminations shall consider whether the patient/resident for whom the Guardian Officer serves as guardian (or payee for SSI recipients) remains incompetent as defined in the Probates, Estates, and Fiduciary Code. The Guardian Office shall, in addition, act to continuously review the status of the clients competency and to seek competency reviews by all appropriate means, so as to terminate the guardian function as soon as the client is competent.
