Can I file a motion to change or terminate my vulnerable adult protection order?

A vulnerable adult who is not subject to a guardian, conservatorship, or a protective arrangement under the law may file to change (modify) or end (terminate) a full vulnerable adult protection order at any time after it is entered. If the vulnerable adult does have a guardian, conservatorship, or protective arrangement, then that person can file a petition to change or end the protection order. The vulnerable adult may also be able to file, depending on the terms of the guardianship, etc.1

When modifying the order, the judge can include any of the protections that could have been included in the initial hearing to grant the order.2
