A conservatorship cannot be ended independently — court involvement is required. To terminate a conservatorship, a petition must be filed explaining why the arrangement should end. If the court agrees, it may either terminate the conservatorship or replace the conservator, depending on the circumstances.
Conservatees often wish to end a conservatorship they feel is no longer needed. While they have the right to petition, they typically must provide evidence demonstrating their ability to manage their own affairs. The court will consider their input, but the ultimate decision rests with the judge.
