The Guardian must also report whether he/she has observed any major changes in the Ward’s physical or mental condition in the last year and whether the Guardian’s opinion the Guardianship should be continued. The above list is the standard information required, however, the information required in the Annual Report can vary depending on the circumstances and/or the Ward.
