Arizona Discharge/Terminate Guardianship of Adult is a process that terminates the legal authority of a guardian over an adult ward. This type of guardianship can be voluntary or involuntary, and the guardian is usually appointed by the court. There are three types of Arizona Discharge/Terminate Guardianship of Adult: voluntary discharge, court-ordered discharge, and death of the ward. Voluntary discharge happens when the guardian and the ward both agree to terminate the guardianship. The court must approve the agreement and the guardian must submit a final report and accounting. Court-ordered discharge occurs when the court determines the guardianship is no longer necessary. The court will require the guardian to submit a final report and accounting and a discharge of guardianship order must be entered. Death of the ward terminates the guardianship upon the death of the ward. The guardian must submit a final report and accounting and the court will enter a discharge of guardianship order.
