Filings concerning a foreign guardianship of the property of a minor; registration of the letters of office of a foreign guardian for an adult
Sec. 2. (a) This subsection applies to a guardianship of the property of a minor.

After filing the copy and bond, the foreign guardian may exercise as to the property of the minor in that county in Indiana all powers of a guardian in Indiana and may maintain actions and proceedings in Indiana.
(b) In the case of an incapacitated person who is an adult (as defined in IC 29-3.5-1-2(1)), a foreign guardian for that adult may register certified copies of the guardian's letters of office and order of appointment under IC 29-3.5-4.
