A. The authority and responsibility of a guardian terminates upon the death of the guardian or the ward, the determination of incapacity of the guardian, or upon removal or resignation of the guardian. Termination does not affect the liability of a guardian for prior acts or the obligation to account for any funds and assets of the ward under the control of the guardian. The authority and responsibility of a guardian of a minor also terminates upon the marriage or majority of the ward.

B. The Court, after notice and hearing, may remove a guardian for cause if the guardian has failed for thirty (30) days, after he is required to do so, to render an account or make a report, and compel him to surrender the estate of the ward to the person found to be lawfully entitled thereto.

C. Every guardian may resign when it appears proper to allow the same and upon the resignation or removal of a guardian the court may appoint a successor guardian in the place of the guardian who has resigned or has been removed or make other appropriate orders pursuant to this Act.

D. Upon termination of the disability of the ward or upon his death, or upon the resignation or removal of the guardian, a guardian or the guardian’s personal representative, or if the guardian is incapacitated or deceased and there is no personal representative, then some suitable person appointed by the court shall file the guardian’s final account and request for final compensation with the Court within thirty (30) days after such event.
