Superior Court >Self- Service Center >Forms >Probate Cases TERMINATION and/or DISCHARGE (and RELEASE of FUNDS) in a GUARDIANSHIP/CONSERVATORSHIP of an ADULT

ATTENTION: Use the forms on this page only if the following factors apply to your situation:

A guardian and/or conservator has been appointed for a disabled adult, AND

The guardian/conservatorship is no longer needed and the Arizona case should be TERMINATED because:

• the protected adult (the “Ward”) died, or
• moved out of state, or
• is now able to conduct his or her own affairs, AND
• the current guardian/conservator needs to be “discharged” (released from his or her legal duties),

OR

There is still a need for a guardian and/or conservator but a person currently serving as court-appointed guardian and/or conservator      needs to be “discharged” (released from his or her legal duties) because he or she:

• is no longer able or willing to serve, or
• should not be allowed to continue to serve.

Do NOT use this packet to terminate guardianship or conservatorship of a minor. Refer to separate forms and instructions to terminate      or to discharge a guardian or conservator for a minor, including a minor who has turned 18.

This page contains court forms and instructions about petitioning the court to discharge the conservator and the release of restricted funds for an ADULT.

Packets contain ALL forms and ALL instructions needed for this process. Where there are separate packets for Instructions and Forms, get BOTH packets.
