Q: I'm currently my fathers Conservator and Guardian. 10 years ago he suffered a stroke.
He has made a full recovery. My question is, Can we get out from under the Court Directed Probate System. It's making simple family business difficult. Are there any steps or procedures I can take to relinquish their control?
Thank You in advance.
A: Any interested person (including you, or your father) can petition the Probate Court to modify or terminate the conservatorship or guardianship, on account of changed circumstances and that the continued guardianship/conservatorship is no longer necessary for your father's protection. More information about this can be obtained from the Probate Court for the county where your father's current guardianship/conservatorship is. For further information, consult with an experienced probate attorney in your area.
