Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. The court where the ward resides has concurrent jurisdiction with the court which 
appointed the guardian, or in which acceptance of a testamentary appointment was 
filed, over resignation, removal, accounting, and other proceedings relating to the 
guardianship, including proceedings to limit the authority previously conferred on a 
guardian, or to remove limitations previously imposed.
2. If the court located where the ward resides is not the court in which acceptance of 
appointment is filed, the court in which proceedings subsequent to appointment are 
commenced shall in all appropriate cases notify the other court, in this or another 
state, and after consultation with that court determine whether to retain jurisdiction or 
transfer the proceedings to the other court, whichever may be in the best interest of 
the ward. A copy of any order accepting a resignation, removing a guardian, or altering 
a guardian's authority shall be sent to the court in which acceptance of appointment is 
filed.
