As guardian, how do I get my adult ward to relocate if they refuse to leave their home?

JoAnn29 Jan 2025
Usually when someone has guardianship the ward is jot competent to make decisions for themselves. So the guardian makes the decisions. Is it unsafe for the person to stayvin their home? I am not familiar with guardianships, so I would go with Alva and Geaton, you may need to go to court. How does your guardianship read?

To clarify, you're saying you cannot get them to leave for just basic things, like appointments and errands? You're not saying you wish to relocate them, right?

It’s tough, but as a guardian you still don’t have absolute control of your ward.
Not knowing the reasons behind your wish to move your ward, and understanding what an unpleasant situation it could turn out to be, you’d probably benefit from getting a court order from a judge and then getting the local sheriff involved.

Yes, I so agree.
When there are problems in guardianship it almost always ends with it coming to the court and a court ordering.
As this OP has chosen to give no information about intended move--where, when, and why--we can but refer him back to the attorney.
Unfortunately, Guardianship almost always makes a lot of use of attorneys.
