     490.11 Retirement of judges of probate court.  

    When a probate judge shall become incapacitated physically 
 or mentally from performing judicial duties during the remainder 
 of a term of office and shall make a written application to the 
 governor for retirement, setting forth the nature and extent of 
 such disability, the governor shall make such investigation as 
 deemed advisable and if the governor shall thereby determine 
 that such disability exists, and that the public service is 
 suffering and will continue to suffer by reason of such 
 disability, the governor shall thereupon, by written order to be 
 filed in the office of the secretary of state, direct the 
 retirement of such judge for the unexpired portion of the term 
 for which such judge was elected, which retirement shall create 
 a vacancy in the office, which shall be filled by appointment, 
 as provided by law.
