Massachusetts Decree and Order of Acceptance of Resignation of Guardian for an Incapacitated Person is a court order issued by the Probate and Family Court in Massachusetts that grants permission for an incapacitated person's guardian to step down from their role. This type of decree is typically issued when a guardian wishes to voluntarily resign from their role and no longer serve as the legal guardian of the incapacitated individual. The court order must be submitted to the Probate and Family Court for review and approval. There are two main types of Massachusetts Decree and Order of Acceptance of Resignation of Guardian for an Incapacitated Person. The first type is a court-appointed guardian resignation. This occurs when a guardian appointed by the court wishes to resign from their role as the legal guardian of the incapacitated individual. The second type is a voluntary guardian resignation. This occurs when a guardian voluntarily decides to step down from their role as guardian of the incapacitated individual. In both cases, the Probate and Family Court must review and approve the Massachusetts Decree and Order of Acceptance of Resignation of Guardian for an Incapacitated Person. The court will consider the best interests of the incapacitated individual before granting permission for the guardian to step down from their role.
