SECTION 81.37
Resignation or suspension of powers of guardian
Mental Hygiene (MHY) CHAPTER 27, TITLE E, ARTICLE 81
§ 81.37 Resignation or suspension of powers of guardian.

(a) The court appointing a guardian may allow the guardian to resign
or may suspend the powers of the guardian.

(b) Where a guardian is engaged in war service as defined in section
seven hundred seventeen of the surrogate's court procedure act, the
court, upon motion by the guardian or any other person and upon such
notice as the court may direct, may suspend the powers of the guardian
until further order of the court. If the suspension will leave no other
person acting as guardian, the motion shall seek the appointment of a
successor. When the suspended guardian becomes able to serve, he or she
may be reinstated by the court upon motion and such notice as the court
may direct. If the suspended guardian is reinstated, the court shall
thereupon discharge his or her successor, who may be required to
account, and make any other order as justice requires.
