Under what circumstance can a guardianship be terminated?

A guardianship can be terminated when the ward regains capacity because the primary purpose of establishing a guardianship is to provide support to individuals who lack the ability to make decisions or care for themselves. If the ward is able to demonstrate that they have regained sufficient capacity to manage their own affairs, it indicates that the need for guardianship no longer exists. This change typically requires an evaluation by a qualified professional who can assess the ward's ability to make informed decisions.

In contrast, the relocation of a guardian or a change in their personal feelings doesn't inherently alter the necessity or the validity of the guardianship itself. Similarly, the receipt of government assistance by the ward does not affect their capacity or necessitate a change in guardianship status. Therefore, regaining capacity is a valid and critical reason for terminating the guardianship.
