You are here: Families & Children > Guardianship (Probate Court) > Ending the Guardianship > Can I resign as guardian?
Yes. A guardian can resign. But first, there must be a court hearing. And, you must give notice of the hearing to all relatives who were notified of your appointment as guardian.
You must show the court that it would be in the child's best interest for you to resign. If the judge agrees, s/he will appoint a guardian to replace you.
If no replacement is available, the child will probably be made a dependent in Juvenile Court.
