Article 28. Grounds for terminating guardianship and trusteeship

Guardianship shall terminate in the following cases:

the death of the person under guardianship;

the minor reaches the age of fourteen;

the minor is returned to his or her parents;

the person under guardianship is adopted;

the citizenʼs legal capacity is restored by a court.

Upon termination of guardianship due to a minor reaching the age of fourteen, the person performing the duties of a guardian becomes, without a special appointment, the trustee of the minor, unless otherwise provided by law.

Trusteeship shall terminate in the following cases:

the death of the person under trusteeship;

the person under trusteeship attains majority;

the person under trusteeship is returned to his or her parents;

the person under trusteeship is adopted;

the court decision restricting the citizenʼs legal capacity is annulled;

the minor is declared fully legally capable (emancipation);

the person under trusteeship enters into marriage;

the health of an adult person who needed trusteeship due to health reasons improves.

If a person under guardianship or trusteeship is temporarily in institutions of upbringing, health care, social protection of the population or similar institutions, the guardianʼs or trusteeʼs inability to perform his or her duties for valid reasons does not terminate the rights and duties of the guardian or trustee toward that person.
