Official statutory text
district court - Removal of ineligible guardians - Liability for
continuing to act - Removal of judge.
No natural person shall be eligible to act as guardian of an
estate under the jurisdiction of any judge of the district court, if
said judge of the district court is under any financial obligation
whatsoever to such person. If any judge of the district court,
while holding the office of judge of the district court, becomes
pecuniarily liable to any guardian of any minor or incapacitated or
partially incapacitated person, such liability shall operate to
disqualify such guardian. It is hereby made the duty of the judge
of the district court to enter on the court docket such
disqualifying conditions. The disqualification shall also apply if
such person, except a parent who is guardian of his or her own child
or children has rendered financial aid to said judge, in securing
his nomination and election to the office of judge of the district
court, or his appointment as judge of the district court. Persons
who have heretofore been appointed guardians, who are not eligible
to act under this section shall be by the judge of the district
court removed and successors appointed, as provided by law. If any
person not eligible to act under this section continues to act as
guardian, after such ineligibility has been legally determined, such
person and the surety upon his bond shall be liable to the estate of
the minor or incapacitated or partially incapacitated person for all
money unlawfully paid by such ineligible guardian out of the estate
of such minor or incapacitated or partially incapacitated person,
and if a judge of the district court knowingly permits an ineligible
person to act, he shall be removed from office.
