Sec. 3. (a) Letters of guardianship, temporary or otherwise, shall
be issued to the person entitled to receive them when:
(1) the guardian, if an individual, has filed bond if required and
taken and subscribed before the clerk or any other officer
authorized to administer oaths, an oath or affirmation that the
guardian will faithfully discharge the duties of the guardian's
trust according to law; or
(2) the guardian, if other than an individual, has filed bond if
required and has:
(A) taken and subscribed before the clerk or any other
officer authorized to administer oaths an oath or affirmation
that it will faithfully discharge the duties of its trust
according to law; and
(B) filed an acceptance of the appointment, duly executed
and acknowledged by one (1) of its officers.
(b) The oath, and if other than an individual also the acceptance,
shall be filed and recorded as a part of the proceedings of the
