My client was appointed as guardian of the person and conservator of the estate of an elderly married couple on June 12, 2025. There are two adult children who do not get along at all. The son was acting as the agent for them under a DPOA but wanted out because
of the constant fighting with his sister, hence the guardianship.</div>

On June 16, 2025 (four days after my client was appointed) father dies. As we all know, a guardianship/conservatorship terminates upon the death of the Individual. Father's Will leaves everything to his spouse, and names the son as Personal Representative.
Daughter is excluded as a beneficiary. </div>

My thought is to ask the Court to vacate the Order establishing the Guardianship, and then hand it off to the son to probate father's Will, even though he would prefer not to get dragged into legal proceedings involving his sister. </div>
