118                               LAWS OF MARYLAND                          [CH. 4

(e) Removal.

(1)    Cause for removal. A guardian shall be removed from office
upon a finding by the Court that he (a) misrepresented material
facts in the proceedings leading to his appointment, (b) willfully
disregarded an order of the Court, (c) is unable or incapable, with
or without his own fault, to discharge his duties and powers effec-
tively, (d) has mismanaged property, or (e) has failed to perform
any duty pertaining to the office. Notwithstanding the existence of
cause for removal for failure to perform any duty pertaining to the
office, the Court may continue the guardian in office if it finds that
such continuance would be in the best interests of the estate and
would not adversely affect the right of interested persons.

(2)    Hearing. A hearing shall be conducted by the Court prior to
the removal of any guardian. Such hearing may be held on its own
motion, or on written petition of any interested person. Notice of
such hearing shall be given by the Clerk or Register to all interested
persons.

(3)    Appointment of successor. Upon the removal of a guardian
the Court shall, at the same time, appoint a successor guardian.

(4) Duty of removed guardian. A guardian who is removed
from office shall, within the time designated by the Court, account
for and deliver the property belonging to the estate to such successor
guardian.

221.    Termination of Proceeding.

The minor or disabled person, his personal representative, the
guardian, or any other interested person may petition the Court to
terminate the guardianship. The Court, upon determining, after
notice and hearing, that the minority or disability has ceased, that
the minor or disabled person is presumptively dead, or that he has
died, shall terminate the guardianship proceeding. Upon termina-
tion, title to the estate property shall pass to the former minor or
disabled person, or to his personal representatives. A minor or dis-
abled person seeking termination is entitled to the same rights, pro-
tections, and procedures as in an original proceeding for the ap-
pointment of a guardian. If a minor or disabled person resides in or
changes his residence to another jurisdiction, the court may author-
ize the guardian to transfer all movable property of the estate to a
guardian, committee, conservator, or like fiduciary appointed by the
appropriate court of the state of residence of the minor or disabled
person. The transfer will terminate the guardianship in this State.

222.    Powers of Foreign Fiduciaries.

When no guardianship proceeding is pending in this state, a
guardian, conservator, committee, or other like fiduciary appointed
by the appropriate court of another jurisdiction to manage the
property of a protected person who is a resident of that jurisdiction
may exercise in Maryland all powers of his office, including
