Successor guardians.
1. When a guardian dies or is removed by order of the court, the court, upon the court’s own motion or upon a petition filed by any interested person, may appoint another guardian in the same manner and subject to the same requirements as are provided by law for an original appointment of a guardian.
2. If a guardian of the person is appointed for a ward pursuant to this section, the ward must be served with the petition. If the ward does not object to the appointment, the ward is not required to attend the hearing.
