Minimum period to maintain incapacitated person status; petition
to terminate guardianship or protective order; penalty
Sec. 3. An order adjudicating a person as an incapacitated person
may specify a minimum period, not exceeding one (1) year, during
which a petition for an adjudication that the protected person is no
longer an incapacitated person may not be filed without court
approval. Subject to that restriction, the protected person or any other
person may petition for an order that the protected person is no
longer an incapacitated person and for termination of the
guardianship or protective order. A request for an order may also be
made informally to the court. Any person who knowingly interferes
with transmission of the request is guilty of contempt of court.
