1999 Minnesota Statutes

     525.6192 Termination of appointment of guardian; general.

    A guardian's authority and responsibility terminates upon 
 the death, resignation or removal of the guardian or upon the 
 minor's death, adoption, marriage or attainment of majority, but 
 termination does not affect the guardian's liability for prior 
 acts, nor the obligation to account for funds and assets of the 
 ward.  A guardian may be discharged without notice or hearing on 
 petition and acceptance of the guardian's accounts by the ward 
 after the ward marries or attains majority, or, in the case of 
 the ward's death, by the personal representative of the ward's 
 estate.  In other cases the court may discharge the guardian 
 upon approval of the guardian's accounts after notice and a 
 hearing.  Resignation of a guardian does not terminate the 
 guardianship until it has been approved by the court.  A 
 testamentary appointment under an informally probated will 
 terminates if the will is later denied probate in a formal 
 proceeding.
