Can guardianship be terminated?

Yes, guardianship in Nevada can be terminated in certain circumstances. If the person for whom a guardian is appointed has regained mental capacity or died, a guardian’s duties will end automatically. A guardian may also petition the court to end the guardianship or return control of the estate to the ward if the ward is competent to manage his or her affairs. The court may also terminate the guardianship if it determines that the ward is no longer in need of a guardian, or if the court finds the guardian is not acting in the ward’s best interest. A guardian must provide a detailed inventory of the ward’s property to the court for approval. The court may also terminate the guardianship if the guardian fails to comply with the Nevada guardianship law or the court’s orders. Additionally, the court may terminate the guardianship if the court finds that the guardian has mismanaged the ward’s estate. The guardian should contact the court to request termination of the guardianship and refund the remaining estate to the ward.
