JUDICIAL DECISIONS
When ward is inmate at state hospital when guardian appointed.
- Law did not refer to situations where ward was inmate at state hospital at time of guardian's appointment, was never in the custody of the guardian, and had been declared sane some years prior to the ward's death, and the sole remaining contact with the guardian at the time of the ward's death was with reference to whether a certain disbursement made by the guardian was proper.
