Key elements to include in a Concord California Petition for Terminating or Termination of Guardianship are: 1. Introduction and Identification: The petition should start with an introduction stating the petitioner's name, relationship to the ward, and their intention to terminate the guardianship. Providing information about the ward such as their name, age, and current living situation is essential. 2. Reason for Termination: The petitioner should clearly explain the reasons why they believe the guardianship should be terminated. Valid reasons may include improved mental/physical health of the ward, changes in the ward's living arrangements, or the ward reaching the age of majority, among others. Providing specific details and supporting evidence, such as medical reports or statements from witnesses, can strengthen the petition. 3. Current Guardian Information: It is necessary to include the full name and contact information of the current guardian(s) in the petition. This ensures proper notification and involvement of all relevant parties. 4. Proposed Plan for the Ward: The petitioner should outline a plan for the ward's future care and well-being.
