FAQ
The Court appreciates your care of the child(ren). The guardianship will continue to remain active unless ordered by the court or the child turns 18.
If, at any time after the petition is filed, the petitioner desires to withdraw the same, he shall file with the hearing clerk (or, if filed during the course of a hearing, with the judge) a written request for permission to withdraw.
Requesting Letters of Testamentary The person acting as the executor of the estate must petition the court to request the letter of testamentary. After they file the necessary documents, the probate court checks them to ensure compliance and authenticate the will.
Before the current guardianship arrangement ends, if the temporary guardian and both parents agree, they can jointly dissolve the guardianship without going to court (barring any ongoing legal or child protection investigations that could influence their legal standing).
Forms requesting a termination of guardianship must be filed at the Superior Court within the county that the adult/child under guardianship has residency in. Forms to terminate guardianship are available at any of the Clerk of the Superior Court office locations; however each county may require additional forms.
Ending a Guardianship File a Petition for Termination of Guardianship – submit the petition to the court along with affidavits from two physicians certifying the ward's mental capacity. If you're the guardian, you'll also need to submit a final accounting of your activities.
Someone suspects that an elderly person is a victim of abuse, neglect, self-neglect, or exploitation. Person calls the APS Hotline at (877) 767-2385 to report alleged maltreatment.

Elder abuse includes acts of any physical, emotional, financial, or sexual mistreatment of an elderly individual. Neglect and abandonment of an elderly person can also be considered elder abuse.
After a report is made APS works closely with law enforcement, and if a determination is made that the mistreatment rises to the level of a crime, the alleged perpetrator could be arrested. Those decisions are not made by APS, but law enforcement.
