Discharge of guardian
Sec. 17. In addition to any other provisions of law relating to
judicial restoration and discharge of guardian, a certificate by the
Department showing that a minor has attained majority or that the
incapacitated person has been rated competent by the Department
upon examination in accordance with law shall be prima facie
evidence that the minor has attained majority, or the incapacitated
person has recovered competency. Upon hearing after notice as
provided in this chapter and the determination by the court that the
minor has attained majority or the incapacitated person has recovered
competency, an order shall be entered to that effect, and the guardian
shall file a final account within sixty (60) days of such determination.
Upon hearing after notice to the former protected person and to the
Department as in case of other accounts, upon approval of the final
account, and upon delivery to the protected person of the assets due
from the guardian, the guardian shall be discharged and the
guardian's sureties released.
