The Maryland Petition for Termination of Guardianship is a legal document that is filed in the Maryland Circuit Court to end a guardianship. It is typically filed by the guardian or by someone interested in the ward (the person for whom the guardianship has been established). The petition includes the details of the guardianship, the reasons for its termination, and the proposed outcome of the guardianship. There are two types of Maryland Petition for Termination of Guardianship: voluntary and involuntary. In the voluntary petition, the guardian is voluntarily relinquishing the guardianship. In the involuntary petition, the court is asked to terminate the guardianship because it is believed that the guardianship is no longer necessary or in the best interest of the ward. The court will review the petition and make a decision based on the merits of the case.
