district court - Removal of ineligible guardians - Liability for

continuing to act - Removal of judge.

No natural person shall be eligible to act as guardian of an

estate under the jurisdiction of any judge of the district court, if

said judge of the district court is under any financial obligation

whatsoever to such person. If any judge of the district court,

while holding the office of judge of the district court, becomes

pecuniarily liable to any guardian of any minor or incapacitated or

partially incapacitated person, such liability shall operate to

disqualify such guardian. It is hereby made the duty of the judge

of the district court to enter on the court docket such

disqualifying conditions. The disqualification shall also apply if

such person, except a parent who is guardian of his or her own child

or children has rendered financial aid to said judge, in securing

his nomination and election to the office of judge of the district

court, or his appointment as judge of the district court. Persons

who have heretofore been appointed guardians, who are not eligible

to act under this section shall be by the judge of the district

court removed and successors appointed, as provided by law. If any

person not eligible to act under this section continues to act as

guardian, after such ineligibility has been legally determined, such

person and the surety upon his bond shall be liable to the estate of

the minor or incapacitated or partially incapacitated person for all

money unlawfully paid by such ineligible guardian out of the estate

of such minor or incapacitated or partially incapacitated person,

and if a judge of the district court knowingly permits an ineligible

person to act, he shall be removed from office.
