You don't make it clear if you are referring to the person under guardianship is the one wishing to end it? Or if another person/family member wishes to end it or take it over. Here is what ChatGPT5 says:
"In Louisiana, ending (or “terminating”) a court-appointed guardianship — called interdiction under Louisiana law — depends on who is requesting the change and why. Louisiana uses the terms “interdiction” (full or limited) and “curator” (guardian) / “undercurator” rather than “guardianship” in most cases, but the process is similar.
Here’s how it works in both directions:
1. If someone wants to end guardianship of another person (i.e., you’re the curator/guardian and want to be released) You must petition the court that issued the interdiction.
Steps generally include: File a motion or petition to resign as curator You submit it to the same district court that granted the interdiction. The court will typically require that you provide notice to the undercurator, the interdicted person, and sometimes close family members. Provide an accounting or final report If you managed any assets or benefits, the court usually requires a final accounting of how the person’s property or funds were used. Once approved, you’re formally released from your duties. Court order of discharge The judge must issue an order accepting your resignation and appointing a successor curator (if needed). You remain responsible until the court signs that order.
2. If the person under guardianship wants to end it for themselves (i.e., they believe they’ve regained capacity) Louisiana law allows this through a Petition for Modification or Termination of Interdiction under La. Code of Civil Procedure Art. 3991–3993.
Steps:
File a “Petition for Termination of Interdiction” The interdicted person (or someone on their behalf) files it with the same court that issued the original interdiction.
They must show that the reasons for interdiction no longer exist — for example, medical improvement or regained decision-making capacity.
Court evaluation The judge can order a medical or psychological evaluation to assess competency. Family members and the curator can respond to or contest the petition.
Hearing and judgment A hearing is held; if the judge finds the person no longer needs a curator, the interdiction is lifted.
The court issues an order restoring the person’s legal rights.
3. Legal help and practical advice
It’s best to work with an elder law or estate attorney in Louisiana familiar with interdiction proceedings.
The Louisiana State Bar Association or Acadiana Legal Service / Southeast Louisiana Legal Services can often refer low-cost or pro bono help.
For parishes with public guardianship programs, you can also contact the Clerk of Court to ask for the correct forms and procedures."
Then you need to see an attorney, and let me tell you, it won't be easy to end this action, taken before the court and by a judge. Becoming a ward of the court is a DIRE action, and most families who even WANT and APPROVE such action simply cannot ever get the state to intervene to DO it. So if this action is done now, then there will have to be a lot of money and proof and angst to get it undone.
I wish I could give you some proof but without any details can't even give you a clue what to present through your attorney/to your attorney, not what to expect. I can only wish you luck.
If this is an adult then the State took over for a very good reason. There was no one willing to care for this person. A person from the State was assigned as this persons guardian and makes all the decisions for them. It probably will cost thousands to reverse a Judges decision.
