Subchapter III. Accounting and Settlement
§ 3941. Guardian's duty to account.

(a) A guardian of the property shall fully account, in accordance with this subchapter, for all the money, effects and property of the person with a disability which the guardian has received, but a guardian of the person shall have no duty to account or otherwise report to the Court, except as provided by order of the Court.
(b) The personal representative of a guardian who dies in office shall, upon appointment as personal representative, advise the Court of Chancery and the next of kin of the person with a disability of the death of the guardian and thereafter assume the duties of the guardian until a successor guardian is appointed. The personal representative shall file a petition for the appointment of an appropriate successor guardian within 60 days of being appointed personal representative if no other interested party has filed such a petition. The personal representative shall render to the Court an account of the decedent's guardianship (including such period of time the personal representative performed the duties of the guardian prior to appointment of a successor guardian) within 3 months of the grant of letters testamentary or letters of administration.
