More details to this question:
I am a guardian in Cook County. I've asked my attorney but they are taking forever to get back to me. All I want to know is I am guardian, when a bill came to house, there was little money in guardianship account because pension had not come in yet. So I paid bill with personal funds. It was about $300.Is there a statute that says the answer?

You can petition the probate court to allow you to be reimbursed by your ward's funds.

Do you mean Crook County? Or are you in Illinois? In Oregon, I wouldn't have a problem including this in the next annual account and requesting reimbursement.

I believe that you cannot loan money to your charge. In any event, yes you will have yo petition the court for reimbursement.

You are entitled to reimbursement as long as you can show the bill was an obligation of the ward's estate and you paid it.

If you can show that the bill was for the benefit of the ward, yes you are entitled to reimbursement.
