§ 882. Nonresident as Ward
882. Nonresident as Ward
Guardianship of the estate of a nonresident incapacitated person who owns property in this state may be granted, if necessary, in the same manner as for the property of a resident of this state. A court in the county in which the principal estate of the ward is located has jurisdiction to appoint a guardian. The court shall take all actions and make all necessary orders with respect to the estate of the ward for the maintenance, support, care, or education of the ward, out of the proceeds of the ward's estate, in the same manner as if the ward were a resident of this state and was sent abroad by the court for education or treatment. If a qualified nonresident guardian of the estate later qualifies in this state under Section 881 of this code, the court shall close the resident guardianship.
