Legal Question in Elder Law in Illinois

If I have legal guardianship over my mother for person and estate, and medicaid is applied after her estate is eventually exhausted. Am I responsible for all fees needed to file the annual report for cook county court, or is there some type of escrow account started from her social security?

In Cook County, there is no filing fee associated with an Annual Report on Ward for a Disabled Person. In fact, you need not actually go to Court to file that. Simply mail that every year to the appropriate Judge.

When her assets are exhausted, the Court will close a part of the Estate, and no further annual Accounts will be necessary.
