1. A guardian of the estate may petition
the court for advice and instructions in any matter concerning:
(a) The administration of the estate of the
protected person;
(b) The priority of paying claims;
(c) The propriety of making any proposed
disbursement of funds;
(d) Elections for or on behalf of the protected
person to take under the will of a deceased spouse;
(e) Exercising for or on behalf of the protected
person:
(1) Any options or other rights under any
policy of insurance or annuity; and
(2) The right to take under a will, trust
or other devise;
(f) The propriety of exercising any right
exercisable by owners of property; and
(g) Matters of a similar nature.
2. Any act done by a guardian of the
estate after securing court approval or instructions with reference to the
matters set forth in subsection 1 is binding upon the protected person or those
claiming through the protected person, and the guardian is not personally liable
for performing any such act.
3. If any interested person may be
adversely affected by the proposed act of the guardian, the court shall direct
the issuance of a citation to that interested person, to be served upon the
person at least 20 days before the hearing on the petition. The citation must
be served in the same manner that summons is served in a civil action and must
direct the interested person to appear and show cause why the proposed act of
the guardian should not be authorized or approved. All interested persons so
served are bound by the order of the court which is final and conclusive,
subject to any right of appeal.
