§ 2927. Remedy, after guardian’s discharge, reexamination of accounts
After the trust of a guardian is terminated, if the ward or the ward’s legal representatives
are dissatisfied with the account as allowed by the Probate Division of the Superior
Court during the continuance of the trust, within two years, and if the ward or the
legal representatives do not at the time of the termination of the trust reside in
this State, within four years thereafter, they may file a motion to reopen the estate
for a reexamination of the account. After notice as provided by the Rules of Probate
Procedure, the court shall reexamine accounts previously allowed. A party may appeal
from the decision of the Probate Division to the Civil Division of the Superior Court.
The final allowance of accounts in these proceedings shall be conclusive between the
parties. (Amended 1973, No. 193 (Adj. Sess.), § 3, eff. April 9, 1974; 1985, No. 144 (Adj. Sess.), § 146; 2009, No. 154 (Adj. Sess.), § 124, eff. Feb. 1, 2011.)
