How is a guardianship revoked?

In New Hampshire, a guardianship can be revoked when it is no longer necessary or in the best interests of the person or persons the guardian was appointed to represent. The court will review the situation and decide if the guardianship should be revoked. The process for revoking the guardianship typically starts with a petition from the person being represented, or someone on their behalf, to the court. The petitioner will need to explain why the guardianship should be revoked and provide a plan for the person’s care if the guardianship is ended. Once the petition is filed, the court will set a hearing date. During the hearing, the petitioner will present evidence and witnesses to support the request to revoke the guardianship. The court may also make a decision based on the written evidence presented in the petition. If the court decides to revoke the guardianship, the guardian will no longer be responsible for making decisions on behalf of the person being represented. Depending on the individual situation, the court may appoint a conservator or trustee to make decisions on the person’s behalf. The court may also order the guardian to transfer any assets and property back to the person being represented or to someone appointed to manage them. The guardian must also provide an accounting of all assets and property during the guardianship. Once the guardianship is revoked, the guardian must no longer act in a representative capacity for the person.
