        (a)  Resident minor.--A guardian of the person or of the
     estate of a minor may be appointed by the court of the county in
     which the minor resides.
        (b)  Nonresident minor.--A guardian of the estate within the
     Commonwealth of a minor residing outside the Commonwealth may be
     appointed by the court of the county having jurisdiction of a
     decedent's estate or of a trust from which the minor's estate is
     derived. When the nonresident minor's estate is derived
     otherwise than from a decedent's estate or a trust, a guardian
     may be appointed by the court of any county where an asset of
     the minor's estate is located.
        (c)  Exclusiveness of appointment.--When a court has
     appointed a guardian of a minor's estate pursuant to subsections
     (a) or (b), no other court shall appoint a similar guardian for
     the minor within the Commonwealth.
