When may a guardianship or conservatorship be terminated?

Anyone, including the adult, may file a petition to terminate 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 adult is no longer an incapacitated individual or dies, the Court should be notified immediately 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 adult or his or her estate has received whatever assets remain.
