Asking a Judge to end the Guardianship The person who wants to end the guardianship will have to file some forms, set a court hearing, and serve the guardians and all other relatives so a judge can hold a hearing and decide whether the guardianship is still needed.

In Texas, you can obtain temporary guardianship by completing the Authorization Agreement for Nonparent Relative or Voluntary Caregiver. Forms are available at the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services website.

DURATION OF TEMPORARY GUARDIANSHIP. Except as provided by Section 1251.052, a temporary guardianship may not remain in effect for more than 60 days.

In Texas, only one person may be appointed as guardian of the person or estate, but one person may be appointed guardian of the person and another person may be appointed guardian of the estate if it is in the best interest of the incapacitated person or ward.

Family members may no longer be involved in decision-making if they are not appointed guardian. They may no longer have unlimited access to the ward. Guardianship is a legal process, requiring the services of an attorney, which is designed to provide maximum protection to a person.

Once you file your completed paperwork, it usually takes about 30 days for the court to decide if they will grant guardianship. Lawyer and court costs are generally $2,000 to $5,000, depending on where you live in Texas and how hard it is to get the guardianship completed.

HHS Guardianship Services Program For adults to be referred to HHS for guardianship, they must either have a disability, or be 65 or older, and a victim of abuse, neglect (including self-neglect) or exploitation.

The child, the guardian or any third party can make an application to the court to have the guardianship reversed. Guardianship agreements can only be reversed by the court who have the power to terminate the agreement. The court will only reverse the agreement where doing so is in the best interests of the child.

In Texas, you can obtain temporary guardianship by completing the Authorization Agreement for Nonparent Relative or Voluntary Caregiver. Forms are available at the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services website.

The Process: Your attorney will file an application for guardianship with the county court. A doctor must evaluate the proposed ward and certify that he or she is incapacitated. The proposed ward must be personally served with application. Other 'interested persons,' such as relatives, must also be served or notified.
