Indiana § 29-3-13-2

• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Art. 3: GUARDIANSHIPS AND PROTECTIVE
• Ch. 13: Foreign Guardians

Text

(a) This subsection applies to a guardianship
of the property of a minor. If no guardian has been appointed, and no
petition in a guardianship proceeding is pending in Indiana, a guardian
appointed by a court of another state in which the minor is domiciled
may file, with an Indiana court in a county in which property belonging
to the minor is located, an authenticated copy of the guardian's
appointment and a bond that meets the requirements of IC 29-3-7-1
with respect to that part of the property of the minor that is located in
that county. After filing the copy and bond, the foreign guardian may
exercise as to the property of the minor in that county in Indiana all
powers of a guardian in Indiana and may maintain actions and
proceedings in Indiana.
(b) In the case of an incapacitated person who is an adult (as defined
in IC 29-3.5-1-2(1)), a foreign guardian for that adult may register
certified copies of the guardian's letters of office and order of
appointment under IC 29-3.5-4.
