524.5-112 TERMINATION OF OR CHANGE IN GUARDIAN'S OR CONSERVATOR'S
APPOINTMENT.
(a) The appointment of a guardian or conservator terminates upon the death, resignation,
or removal of the guardian or conservator or upon termination of the guardianship or
conservatorship. A resignation of a guardian or conservator is effective when approved by the
court. A parental or spousal appointment as guardian under an informally probated will terminates
if the will is later denied probate in a formal proceeding. Termination of the appointment of a
guardian or conservator does not affect the liability of either for previous acts or the obligation to
account for money and other assets of the ward or protected person.
(b) A ward, protected person, or interested person may petition for removal of a guardian
or conservator on the ground that removal would be in the best interest of the ward or protected
person or for other good cause. A guardian or conservator may petition for permission to resign.
A petition for removal or permission to resign may include a request for appointment of a
successor guardian or conservator.
(c) The court may appoint an additional guardian or conservator at any time, to serve
immediately or upon some other designated event, and may appoint a successor guardian or
conservator in the event of a vacancy or make the appointment prior to a vacancy, to serve when a
vacancy occurs. An additional or successor guardian or conservator may file an acceptance
of appointment at any time after the appointment, but in no case later than 30 days after the
occurrence of the vacancy or other designated event. The additional or successor guardian or
conservator becomes eligible to act on the occurrence of the vacancy or designated event, or
the filing of the acceptance of appointment, whichever occurs last. A successor guardian or
conservator succeeds to the predecessor's powers, and a successor conservator succeeds to the
predecessor's title to the protected person's assets.
