(a) The temporary guardian shall immediately turn over all of the property of the protected person to the protected person; or
(b) If the temporary guardian is awaiting certification from the appropriate authority acknowledging that the guardian has no further liability for taxes on the estate, the temporary guardian shall seek approval from the court to maintain possession of all or a portion of the property of the protected person.
2. If a temporary guardianship is terminated and a petition for general or special guardianship has been filed, the temporary guardian of the estate may:

(b) Perform the duties of guardian for not more than 90 days after the temporary guardianship is terminated or until the court appoints another temporary, general or special guardian.
