Can a guardianship be changed?

Yes, a guardianship in Texas can be changed. The process to change the guardianship depends on the type of guardianship. If an adult’s guardianship is based on a court order, then an application must be made with the court to amend the existing order. The application must be made in the county the guardianship order was issued. In the case of a guardianship involving a minor, the parent or guardian can file a motion to modify the court order. This motion must include a reason for the requested change. The judge will review the application and make a decision as to whether or not to change the guardianship. In both cases, the person or entity that is requesting the modification must serve the other parties involved with the guardianship with the motion to modify. This ensures that all of the parties have notice of the change and are able to have their say in the process. If both parties are in agreement to modify the guardianship, then the court may waive the requirement for a hearing. The court may simply issue a modified guardianship order if both parties are in agreement and sign the order. If the parties are not in agreement, then the court will require a hearing before issuing a modified guardianship order.
