§ 751. CITATION ON PRESENTATION OF ACCOUNT FOR FINAL
SETTLEMENT. (a) On the filing of an account for final settlement
by a guardian of the estate of a ward, citation must contain a
statement that the final account has been filed, the time and place
when it will be considered by the court, and a statement requiring
the person cited to appear and contest the final account if the
person determines it is proper. The county clerk shall issue the
citation to the following persons and in the manner provided by this
section.
(b) If a ward is a living resident of this state who is 14
years of age or older, and the ward's residence is known, the ward
shall be cited by personal service, unless the ward, in person or by
attorney, by writing filed with the clerk, waives the issuance and
personal service of citation.
(c) If one who has been a ward is deceased, the ward's
executor or administrator, if one has been appointed, shall be
personally served, but no service is required if the executor or
administrator is the same person as the guardian.
(d) If a ward's residence is unknown, or if the ward is a
nonresident of this state, or if the ward is deceased and no
representative of the ward's estate has been appointed and
qualified in this state, the citation to the ward or to the ward's
estate shall be by publication, unless the court by written order
directs citation by posting.
(e) If the court deems further additional notice necessary,
it shall require the additional notice by written order. In its
discretion, the court may allow the waiver of notice of an account
for final settlement in a guardianship proceeding.
