Sec. 826. PROCEDURE WHEN GUARDIAN NEGLECTS TO APPLY FOR SALE    


Latest version.
  • When the guardian of an estate neglects to apply for an order to sell sufficient property to pay the charges and claims against the estate that have been allowed and approved or established by suit, an interested person, on written application, may cause the guardian to be cited to appear and make a full exhibit of the condition of the estate, and show cause why a sale of the property should not be ordered. On hearing an application made under this section, if the court is satisfied that a sale of the property is necessary or advisable in order to satisfy the claims, it shall enter an order of sale as provided by Section 825 of this code.
