county in the interest of the protected person or proposed protected person or, if
not contrary to the interest of the protected person or proposed protected person,

person or proposed protected person, for the convenience of the guardian, the court
shall make an order of transfer and cause a transcript of the proceedings in the matter,
all original papers filed in such proceedings and the original bond filed by the guardian,
to be certified by the clerk of the court originally hearing the matter and sent to
the clerk of the court of the other county. Upon receipt of the transcript, papers and bond, and the filing of them for record,
the court of the other county has complete jurisdiction of the matter, and thereafter
all proceedings shall be as though they were commenced in that court.
