When may a guardianship or conservatorship be terminated?

Anyone, including the minor who is at least 14 years of age, may file a petition to modify the guardianship or conservatorship or to have a different guardian or conservator appointed. With the Court’s permission, the guardian may resign at any time. When the minor reaches 18 years of age or dies, the Court should be notified so that the guardianship or conservatorship can be ended and the Court’s case closed. Before the conservator can be discharged, a Final Account will have to be filed and approved by the Court and the Court will have to be satisfied that the minor (now adult) or his or her estate has received whatever assets remain.
