Answer:
Fla. Stat. §744.521 states termination of guardianship. It reads:
“When a ward becomes sui juris or is restored to capacity, when the guardian has been unable to locate the ward through diligent search, or, for a guardian of the property, when the property subject to the guardianship has been exhausted, the guardian shall file a final report and receive his or her discharge. A guardian of the person is discharged without further proceeding upon filing a certified copy of the ward's death certificate. The court may require proof of the removal of incapacity.”
Therefore, the guardian has to file a final report to get discharged himself from guardianship if you have become independent or have restored capacity or if your guardian is unable to locate you.
