Sec. 738. FAILURE OF JOINT GUARDIANS TO RETURN AN INVENTORY, APPRAISEMENT, AND LIST OF CLAIMS    


Latest version.
  • If there is more than one qualified guardian of the estate, one or more of the guardians, on the neglect of the other guardians, may make and return an inventory and appraisement and list of claims. The guardian so neglecting may not thereafter interfere with the estate or have any power over the estate. The guardian that returns an inventory, appraisement, and list of claims has the whole administration, unless, not later than the 60th day after the date of return, each of the delinquent guardians assigns to the court in writing and under oath a reasonable excuse that the court may deem satisfactory. If no excuse is filed or if the excuse filed by a delinquent guardian is insufficient, the court shall enter an order removing the delinquent guardian and revoking the guardian's letters.
