On appointment of a limited guardian, guardian, limited conservator, or
conservator, or at any time thereafter, the court may designate another suitable
person or entity to assume the powers and duties assigned to the limited
guardian, guardian, limited conservator, or conservator upon his death,
resignation, removal, or incapacity. Prior to such designation, the individual or
entity to be designated shall file with the court a written application stating the
name, address, and qualifications of the applicant and his relationship, if any,
to the respondent.
The individual so designated shall file an acceptance with the court within ten
(10) days of the death, resignation, or incapacity of his predecessor. Notice
shall also be given to the ward and his nearest adult relative. An individual
serving on a standby basis may exercise all the powers and duties assigned to
his predecessor upon filing of his acceptance unless otherwise ordered by the
court.
In an emergency situation and in the absence and unavailability of the initially
appointed guardian or conservator, the standby guardian or conservator may
temporarily assume the powers and duties of the initially appointed guardian or
