1998 Minnesota Statutes

     525.6195 Resignation or removal proceedings. 

    (a) Any person interested in the welfare of a ward, or the 
 ward, if 14 or more years of age, may petition for removal of a 
 guardian on the ground that removal would be in the best 
 interests of the ward.  A guardian may petition for permission 
 to resign.  A petition for removal or for permission to resign 
 may, but need not, include a request for appointment of a 
 successor guardian.  

    (b) After notice and hearing on a petition for removal or 
 for permission to resign, the court may terminate the 
 guardianship and make any further order that may be appropriate. 

    (c) If, at any time in the proceeding, the court determines 
 that the interests of the ward are, or may be, inadequately 
 represented, it may appoint an attorney to represent the minor, 
 giving consideration to the preference of the minor if the minor 
 is 14 or more years of age.
