If your court`s family law broker or self-help centre helps people with guardianship cases, ask them to review your files. You can make sure that you have completed it correctly before proceeding with your file. Notify by mail anyone who was notified when the matter began (when guardianship was filed). Before terminating a guardianship, the judge considers the following: Any of these people can ask the court to terminate a guardianship: The first 3 events automatically end the guardianship. The last 1 require a court order. The original is for the dish (sometimes the court also keeps 1 of the copies). A copy will be for you. The others are intended for people who need to be informed (see step 5). You may need to make more copies after you file the forms. You must show the court that it would be in the best interests of the child for you to resign. If the judge agrees, he or she will appoint a guardian to replace you.
If no substitute is available, the child is likely to be dependent in a juvenile court. A guardian may resign. But first there must be a hearing in court. And you must communicate the hearing to all relatives who have been informed of your appointment as guardian. Bring your originals and copies to the clerk`s office at your courthouse. They keep the original and return the copies to you with the stamp “Deposited”. You may have to pay a registration fee. If you can`t afford to pay the fee, you can apply for a fee waiver. You must file a final report and accounting with the court and apply for your release as a guardian.
If the child is now an adult, he may decide not to require accounting. But you, as a guardian, must always submit a report to the court with a statement from the child (now an adult) that he does not want accounting.. .
