can a guardian leave his ward in michigan?

Google AI Overview

In Michigan, a guardian cannot simply "leave" or abandon their ward. Since a guardianship is established by the court, it can only be terminated or transferred through a formal legal process. A guardian who abandons a ward could face serious legal consequences for failing their court-appointed duties.

The legal process for ending a guardianship

Resignation by the guardian

File a petition: A guardian who wishes to resign must file a petition with the probate court that initially established the guardianship.

Court review: The court will not accept the resignation until a final report is approved and a plan for the ward's continued care is in place. The court's primary concern is the ward's welfare.

Successor guardian: The court may appoint a new guardian to ensure there is no gap in the ward's care. A standby guardian may already have been designated to fill this role.

Removal of a guardian

An interested person or the ward can petition the court to remove a guardian if they are found to be unsuitable or negligent. Reasons for removal include:

Neglecting duties
Misconduct or taking advantage of the ward
Circumstances that make the guardian unsuitable
Termination of the guardianship
A guardianship can also be ended if it is no longer necessary. This occurs in cases where:
The ward, if an incapacitated adult, regains their capacity.

A minor ward comes of age, is adopted, or gets married.
The ward passes away.

What happens if a guardian abandons a ward?
Abandoning a ward without following the proper court procedures is a serious violation of a guardian's legal responsibilities. It can result in the guardian being held in contempt of court and removed from their position. The court will step in to protect the ward and arrange for a successor guardian to be appointed.

And I'm not letting anyone ever put me in a group home or a place like that. I'll be defenseless there with my Cerebral Palsy. I'll be abused and neglected. And now I know I'll lose all contact with the outside world there. Plus I'll lose my car there, because they don't allow you to have cars at ones in Detroit. No they don't regardless of what anyone tells me. And I vowed long ago never to allow that to happen. I'd lose everything if I lost my car and plus it's the principle of the thing. That after all these years people would finally get their way that way. Absolutely not to all of those things.

And to repeat, I'm not letting Eric leave as my legal guardian. He just has to sign over checks like he has all along and can easily do living in one of the Grosse Pointes. And he's spending the month in jail. As a warning to him, and all the police, first responders and others who were involved in my abuse, which almost ended tragically.

Also, I can already see the people in my life have played that card, having the police take me away somewhere. I just don't think they'll ever be able to play it again. And so this is what I am going to do if they ever try to get me to a group home. Back your bags we are going to a group home, Eric might say. I just won't do it. And, long-story-short, after Eric presumably packs my bags when I am not looking, he might get me as far as the front door. But I just would never walk it it. Because they'd shut the door behind me and lock it. And then I'll be abused, and threatened and neglected like I was in Sinai-Grace this time. No need to be violent or even extreme. Like I told them in the hospital, simple acts of noncompliance are much more effective. And then more people will support me too.

And those three eternal talking points will be what I always fight for, along with decry as horrible injustices in my past. And so I will always make sure I have a car. And if Eric takes my car away as an extreme measure to get me to go to a group home, I just won't go along with it still. And then I will living in my home in Detroit alone, with no car, having to fend for myself. Does Eric want to get blamed for that? In fact even if they turned off my power because Eric stopped paying my electric bill, I'd still never leave. The only problem with the car is getting Eric to replace it when I need one with hand pedals or other handicapped features for all these problems that are developing. Or even just getting him to buy me a new car when I need it now. Because he's very angry now and blames me for everything for some reason. But I told everyone my solution for that. A month in jail. If Eric spent a month in jail for abusing and neglecting me and contempt of court, I don't think we'd ever have problems with him again. And the deadline for him to replace my washing machine is tomorrow. He had a month, so now he should be arrested. Except my case manager said if that happened he'd be taken off as legal guardian, and so I'd lose all my money and end up homeless. Especially with all these new costs that will arise from the damage done by that Olanzapine. I'll have to look into that, because I don't buy it. But until I learn that's true I still say a month in jail. As an example to others in my life, and to make Eric compliant from now on.
