524.5-312 TEMPORARY SUBSTITUTE GUARDIAN.
(a) If the court finds that a guardian is not effectively performing the guardian's duties and
that the welfare of the ward requires immediate action, it may appoint a temporary substitute
guardian for the ward for a specified period not exceeding six months. Except as otherwise
ordered by the court, a temporary substitute guardian so appointed has the powers set forth in the
previous order of appointment. The authority of any unlimited or limited guardian previously
appointed by the court is suspended as long as a temporary substitute guardian has authority. If an
appointment is made without previous notice to the ward or the affected guardian, within five
days after the appointment, the court shall inform the ward or guardian of the appointment.
(b) The court may remove a temporary substitute guardian at any time. A temporary
substitute guardian shall make any report the court requires. In other respects, the provisions of
this article concerning guardians apply to a temporary substitute guardian.
