Supervision - final activity upon termination

• The statutory guardianship proceedings shall end by operation of law upon the death of the person(s) concerned or by a court order terminating the guardianship. The guardian must inform the guardianship court immediately in the event of death. If possible, a copy of the death certificate must be submitted. In addition to returning the guardian's certificate, the guardian is obliged to make a final report to the court.
• If the guardian has been appointed to take care of assets, it is also possible that he or she will have to submit a final statement of account. The guardianship court will tell you whether this is required.
• In principle, any assets administered are to be handed over to the heirs or the person concerned himself/herself after a court examination. The right of disposal of the guardian ends with the death of the person concerned. In the event of termination, the documents and assets must be handed over to the person concerned.
