Ordinarily an attorney ad litem cannot consent to anything, including placement, on behalf of a ward, because the ward, lacking capacity, cannot give approval to the attorney consenting on his or her behalf. The duly appointed and qualified guardian, not the attorney ad litem must make all decisions for the ward.
