California Court of Appeal

When a guardian, whose guardianship responsibilities were initiated as a permanent plan in a dependency proceeding, becomes incapable of providing custody for a minor, causing the change of custody to a new party under a permanent plan of longterm foster care, the juvenile court should terminate the guardianship because the guardianship is not permitted by law to coexist with the new permanent plan.
