 (from Ch. 110 1/2, par. 11-7.1)Sec. 11-7.1. Visitation rights.(a) Whenever both parents of a minor are deceased,    visitation rights  shall be granted to the grandparents of the  minor who are the parents of the minor's legal parents unless it is shown  that such  visitation would be detrimental to the best interests and welfare  of the minor.  In the discretion of the court, reasonable  visitation rights  may be granted to any other relative of the minor or other person having an  interest in the welfare of the child.  However, the court shall not grant    visitation privileges to any person who otherwise might have  visitation  privileges under this Section where the minor has been adopted subsequent  to the death of both his legal parents except where such adoption is by a  close relative.  For the purpose of this Section, "close relative" shall  include, but not be limited to, a grandparent, aunt, uncle, first cousin,  or adult brother or sister.Where such adoption is by a close relative, the court shall not grant    visitation privileges under this Section unless the petitioner alleges and  proves that he or she has been unreasonably denied  visitation with the  child.  The court may grant reasonable  visitation privileges upon finding  that such  visitation  would be in the best interest of the child.An order denying  visitation rights to grandparents of the minor shall be  in writing and shall state the reasons for denial. An order denying  visitation  rights is a final order for purposes of appeal.(b) Unless the court determines, after considering all relevant factors,  including but not limited to those set forth in Section 602.7   of the Illinois  Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, that it would be in the best  interests of the child to allow  visitation, the court shall not enter an order  providing  visitation rights and pursuant to a motion to modify  visitation  brought under Section 610.5   of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of  Marriage Act shall revoke  visitation rights previously granted to any person  who would otherwise be entitled to petition for  visitation rights under  this Section who has been convicted of first degree murder of the parent,  grandparent, great-grandparent, or sibling of the child who is the subject of  the order.  Until an order is entered pursuant to this subsection, no person  shall visit, with the child present, a person who has been convicted of first  degree murder of the parent, grandparent, great-grandparent, or sibling of the  child without the consent of the child's parent, other than a parent convicted  of first degree murder as set forth herein, or legal guardian.

Sec. 11-13.3.         Reliance on authority of guardian, standby guardian,  short-term guardian.(a) Every health care provider and other person (reliant) has the right to  rely on any decision or direction made by the guardian, standby guardian, or  short-term guardian that is not clearly contrary to the law, to the same extent  and with the same effect as though the decision or direction had been made or  given by the parent.  Any person dealing with the guardian, standby guardian,  or short-term guardian may presume in the absence of actual knowledge to the  contrary that the acts of the guardian, standby guardian, or short-term  guardian conform to the provisions of the law.  A reliant shall not be  protected if the reliant has actual knowledge that the guardian, standby  guardian, or short-term guardian is not entitled to act or that any particular  action or inaction is contrary to the provisions of the law.(b) A health care provider (provider) who relies on and carries out a  guardian's, standby guardian's, or short-term guardian's directions and who  acts with due care and in accordance with the law shall not be subject to any  claim based on lack of parental consent, or to criminal prosecution, or to  discipline for unprofessional conduct.  Nothing in this Section shall be deemed  to protect a provider from liability for the provider's own negligence in the  performance of the provider's duties or in carrying out any instructions of the  guardian, standby guardian, or short-term guardian, and nothing in this Section  shall be deemed to alter the law of negligence as it applies to the acts of any  guardian, standby guardian, or short-term guardian or provider.(c) A guardian, standby guardian, or short-term guardian who acts or  refrains from acting is not subject to criminal prosecution or any claim based  upon lack of his or her authority or failure to act, if the act or failure to  act was with due care and in accordance with law.  The guardian, standby  guardian, or short-term guardian shall not be liable merely because he or she  may benefit from the act, has individual or conflicting interests in relation  to the care and affairs of the parent, or acts in a different manner with  respect to the parent's and guardian's, standby guardian's, or short-term  guardian's own care or interests.
