N.Y. Mental Hygiene Law § 79.31: Discharge of guardian

§ 79.31 Discharge of guardian.

(a) When a minor ward for whom a guardian has been appointed under the

provisions of this article or other laws of this state shall have

attained his or her majority, and if incompetent, shall be declared

competent by the administration and the court, and when any incompetent

ward, not a minor, shall be declared competent by said administration

and the court, the guardian shall upon making a satisfactory accounting

be discharged upon a petition filed for that purpose. Provided, however,

if a guardian has received other property in addition to the benefits

from the administration and income from such benefits, his discharge as

to such property shall, in the case of an incompetent ward, be governed

by the laws which govern the discharge of a committee of an incompetent,

and in the case of an infant ward, by the laws which govern the

discharge of a guardian of an infant.
