Which event can lead to termination or limiting guardianship?

• A. Ward regains capacity, comes of age, or death of ward
• B. Guardian relocates out of state
• C. Ward loses access to mail
• D. Court denies guardianship renewal

Answer: (A)

Guardianship exists to protect someone who can’t make certain decisions. It ends when the person can once again handle those decisions or is no longer under guardianship. The clearest end conditions are when the ward regains decision-making capacity, when the ward comes of age, or when the ward dies. In those cases, the court can terminate or significantly limit guardianship so the person can exercise autonomy. Moving the guardian out of state doesn’t automatically end the guardianship, and losing access to mail is a safety concern but not a termination event by itself; denial of renewal is a court action, not an automatic end based on the ward’s situation.
