If you are currently the guardian of a minor child in the state of Kansas, and you no longer feel you can or wish to fulfill your current role as guardian, or perhaps someone else may be better suited for the responsibility, you can end or transfer your rights as guardian. Kansas allows the guardian to petition the court and proceed with a legal process that involves the court terminating the guardianship. This process can be involved and somewhat complex, and it is recommended that you speak with a Guardianship Attorney to ensure you approach the petition process accurately. If proper forms are not used or filled out correctly, or certain county requirements are not met the process could be delayed or even denied. Guardianship Attorney Tom McDowell has over 40 years of experience helping families in situations just like yours and looks forward to assisting you.
Forms Required and Process Overview of Terminating Guardianship in Kansas
There are several steps to ending or transferring guardianship of a minor in the state of Kansas, which is why it is recommended to speak with an experienced attorney. First, the guardian must properly petition the court requesting that the guardianship be terminated. A Final Report must also be submitted along with the Petition and a completed Order for the judge to review and sign. Some situations may allow the termination to proceed without a hearing, and some require that a court hearing be scheduled in order to decide the outcome. A guardianship attorney understands the system specific to your county and can help you work through the process efficiently and successfully.
If a hearing is required, serving notice to relevant parties is also required and the court is strict when adhering to the compliance of this law. Oftentimes notice can be served through publication, the mail or personally through a process server. However, the Administrative Assistant will give applicable instructions on how to successfully complete this requirement. It is important to adhere to the requirements of your county considering each county has different and applicable rules regarding terminating guardianship. Guardianship Attorney Tom McDowell has a deep knowledge and understanding of the process in Kansas and can help you through each step of the process.
