New Mexico § 45-5-210 - Termination of appointment of guardian; general

§ 45-5-210. Termination of appointment of guardian; general

A guardian's authority and responsibility terminate upon the death, resignation or

removal of the guardian or upon the minor's death, adoption, emancipation, marriage

or attainment of majority, but termination does not affect the guardian's liability

for prior acts nor the guardian's obligation to account for money and property of

the protected person. Resignation of a guardian does not terminate the guardianship until it has been

approved by the court. A testamentary appointment under an informally probated will terminates if the will

is later denied probate in a formal proceeding.
