Guardianship Reassessment Request

A Guardianship Reassessment Request is a legal document filed with the court to request a re-evaluation of an individual’s need for guardianship or the suitability of the current guardianship arrangement. The request may be filed by the individual under guardianship, the guardian, or any interested party who believes that the guardianship is no longer necessary or appropriate. The request must include specific reasons for the proposed reassessment, such as changes in the individual’s capacity or circumstances, concerns about the guardian’s performance, or evidence of abuse or neglect. The court will review the request and may order a new evaluation of the individual’s capacity or a hearing to consider the evidence and arguments presented. The Guardianship Reassessment Request is an important tool for ensuring that guardianships remain necessary, appropriate, and effective over time.
