Any plenary guardian or limited guardian of the person with mental retardation serving in accordance with the provisions of sections 45a-669 to 45a-684, inclusive, may be removed by the court of probate which appointed such guardian and another person appointed guardian of the person with mental retardation if the court of probate making such appointment, after notice and hearing as required in section 45a-671, finds such removal and appointment of a new plenary guardian or limited guardian of the person with mental retardation to be in the best interest of the respondent.

      History: P.A. 86-323 substituted "plenary guardian" for "guardian of the mentally retarded person"; Sec. 45-330 transferred to Sec. 45a-678 in 1991; P.A. 03-51 substituted "person with mental retardation" for "mentally retarded person"; (Revisor's note: In 2005, a reference to Sec. 45a-668 was changed editorially by the Revisors to Sec. 45a-669 to reflect the repeal of Sec. 45a-668 by P.A. 04-54).
