If a ward has died, a Notice of Death should be filed as soon as possible to alert the Court and other interested persons. A final Report of Guardian must then be filed within 60 days. If you have already reported the ward’s date of death in the final guardianship report, a Suggestion of Death is still required to ensure proper docketing of the ward’s date of death by Court staff. Suggestions of Death should contain a certificate of service so that other parties are informed that the ward has died.
