Section 81.37. Resignation or suspension of powers of guardian  


Latest version.
  • (a)  The  court appointing a guardian may allow the guardian to resign
      or may suspend the powers of the guardian.
        (b) Where a guardian is engaged in war service as defined  in  section
      seven  hundred  seventeen  of  the  surrogate's court procedure act, the
      court, upon motion by the guardian or any other  person  and  upon  such
      notice  as  the court may direct, may suspend the powers of the guardian
      until further order of the court. If the suspension will leave no  other
      person  acting  as  guardian, the motion shall seek the appointment of a
      successor. When the suspended guardian becomes able to serve, he or  she
      may  be reinstated by the court upon motion and such notice as the court
      may direct. If the suspended guardian is  reinstated,  the  court  shall
      thereupon  discharge  his  or  her  successor,  who  may  be required to
      account, and make any other order as justice requires.
