1. Before the court approves the
resignation of a guardian of the estate and discharges the guardian, the court
shall require the guardian to submit, on the date set for the hearing, an
accounting of the estate through the end of the term.
2. If the guardian fails to file such an
accounting, the court may impose sanctions upon the guardian.
3. If an estate has more than one
guardian, the court may accept the resignation of one of the guardians if the
remaining guardian or guardians are qualified to act alone. The court may waive
the requirement of filing the accounting if the remaining guardian or guardians
are:
(a) Required to file the annual accounting, if
applicable; and
(b) Responsible for any discrepancies in the
accounting.
4. Upon approval of the accounting, if any
is required, and appointment of a successor guardian, the court may approve the
resignation of a guardian and order the discharge of his or her duties.
