Order for Termination of Guardianship Adult

We thought you might want to share in our good news.  I will try to get Pat to blog about it also.  Right now he is just too happy to concentrate on anything for long.  Sorry to those of you who didn't know we were finally doing this, but we wanted to keep it as quiet as we could to minimize the negative reaction from Pat's family.  We hope that eventually they will come to understand why he had to do this.

Upon consideration of the petition for termination of guardianship, the Court finds and orders that this guardianship is terminated because: The ward no longer meets the standard for continuing the guardianship.  The court has considered the information provided at the hearing held on September 16, 2011 and concludes that Mr. Ferguson no longer requires a guardian's assistance.  Ms. M, Mr. Ferguson's conselor, wrote a letter to the court opining that Mr. Ferguson is able to make any and all decisions in his life.  Additionally, Mr. Ferguson has been married for almost four years and during that period of time the guardians have not been making decisions for Mr. Ferguson.  His wife, Melissa, informed the court that she has observed a tremendous amount of personal growth by her husband over the past few years and that he is able to make decisions on his own behalf.  The court was also informed that Mr. Ferguson served on a district court felony criminal trial as a juror in 2010.
