Washington Motion To Modify Replace Or Terminate Guardianship is a procedure used in Washington State when an individual wants to change or end a guardianship. There are three types of Washington Motion To Modify Replace Or Terminate Guardianship: motion to modify, motion to replace, and motion to terminate. A motion to modify guardianship is used when the petitioner (the individual filing the motion) seeks to change the terms of the guardianship, such as requesting a change in the guardian’s duties, changing the guardian’s powers, or requesting a change in the type of guardianship. A motion to replace guardianship is used when the petitioner seeks to remove the existing guardian and appoint a new guardian. A motion to terminate guardianship is used when the petitioner seeks to end the guardianship altogether and return the ward’s rights to him or her. All motions require the petitioner to file a petition in the appropriate court, serve a copy of the petition to all interested parties, and appear in court at the hearing.
