Massachusetts Petition for Resignation of Guardian of a Minor is a legal document used by a guardian to resign from their position as guardian of a minor. This document can be used to terminate a guardianship if the guardian is no longer able or willing to fulfill their duties. The petition must be signed by the guardian and filed with the Probate and Family Court in the county where the minor resides. It must include information such as the name of the minor, the guardian's name and address, the reason for the resignation, and the name and address of the person appointed to replace the guardian. There are two types of Massachusetts Petition for Resignation of Guardian of a Minor: voluntary and involuntary. A voluntary petition is when the guardian submits the resignation of their own volition, whereas an involuntary petition is when the court requires the guardian to step down due to incompetence or failure to fulfill their duties.
