An individual may file a petition to become the successor guardian or the lead agency may file a petition to discharge the Commissioner and appoint a successor guardian. The person seeking to become the guardian would best be served by having a lawyer assist them. The ward must also have representation in the proceedings. If the lead agency contests the change, the lead agency will be represented by the lead agency attorney.
