No person other than a bank or
trust company shall be guardian of more than five wards at one time, unless all the
wards are members of one family. Upon presentation of a petition by an attorney of
the veterans administration or other interested person alleging that a guardian is
acting in a fiduciary capacity for more than five wards as provided in this section
and requesting his or her discharge for that reason, the court, upon proof
substantiating the petition, shall require a final accounting forthwith from such
guardian and shall discharge him or her from guardianships in excess of five and
forthwith appoint a successor.
