     525.59 Succeeding guardian or conservator. 

    If a guardian or conservator dies, resigns, or is removed, 
 the court may appoint a successor with at least 14 days prior 
 notice to the ward or conservatee, a spouse, parents, adult 
 children and siblings, and to other persons as the court may 
 direct.  A ward or conservatee having capacity to do so may 
 nominate a person to serve as successor or may give instructions 
 to the succeeding guardian or conservator or may do both.  The 
 court shall appoint the person so nominated and shall charge the 
 appointee with the instructions, unless the court finds that the 
 appointment of the nominee or the instructions or both are not 
 in the best interests of the ward or conservatee.
