§ 1718. Effect of such letters

1. Ancillary letters of guardianship shall be issued as prescribed in

the preceding section, without security, except as provided in that

section.

2. They authorize the person to whom they are issued to demand and

receive the personal property and the rents and profits of the real

property of the infant and the proceeds of the sale, mortgage or lease

of the real property of the infant, to dispose of them in like manner as

a guardian of the property appointed as prescribed in this article, to

remove them from the state and to maintain any action or special

proceeding in the infant's behalf.

3. Letters so issued do not authorize the ancillary guardian to

receive from a domiciliary fiduciary subject to the jurisdiction of the

court, money or other property belonging to the infant, in a case where

domiciliary letters have been issued in this state to a guardian of the

infant's property, except by special direction made for good cause shown

of the court from which the domiciliary letters were issued or unless

the domiciliary letters have been revoked.
