Answer:
In Guam, the guardians of the ward are vested with certain powers when they are appointed by the court. However, these powers end upon certain grounds as stated per Guam Code Annotated §9114. It reads:“The power of a guardian appointed by a court is suspended only:
(a) By order of the court; or
(b) If the appointment was made solely because of the ward's minority, by his attaining majority; or
(c) The guardianship over the person of the ward, by the marriage of the ward.”
Therefore, by the order of the court or upon attaining majority or upon the marriage of the ward, the power of the guardian is suspended.(a) By order of the court; or
(b) If the appointment was made solely because of the ward's minority, by his attaining majority; or
(c) The guardianship over the person of the ward, by the marriage of the ward.”
