Section 45a-678 - (Formerly Sec. 45-330). Removal of plenary or limited guardian.

Any plenary guardian or limited guardian of the person with intellectual disability 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 intellectual disability 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 intellectual disability to be in the best interest of the respondent. In the event an application for removal has been filed under this section, the attorney of record for the respondent shall have access to all of the records of the respondent.
