The District Court may terminate the task of a guardian when he or she so petitions or when the client no longer is in need of guardianship. The Registry Office may also terminate the task of a guardian if he or she petitions for it. The guardian’s task must be terminated also if he or she proves to be unsuitable for it. The task of a guardian is terminated as a matter of course if the client dies.

After the termination of the task, the guardian must submit final accounts to the Registry Office and release the property of the client to the person who is thereafter entitled to possess it.
