§ 30.1-28-06 — (5-306) Termination of guardianship

The authority and responsibility of a guardian for an incapacitated person terminates upon
the death of the guardian or ward, except, the guardian may arrange for a deceased ward's final
disposition and refer the ward's estate to probate, if no other person is available to perform
those acts, the determination of incapacity of the guardian, or upon removal or resignation as
provided in section 30.1-28-07. Testamentary appointment under an informally probated will
terminates if the will is later denied probate in a formal proceeding. Termination does not affect
the guardian's liability for prior acts nor the guardian's obligation to account for funds and assets
of the ward.
