(10) ANY OTHER PERSON CONSIDERED APPROPRIATE
BY THE COURT.

(B) WAIVER AND SUBSTITUTION.

A PERSON SPECIFIED IN A PRIORITY IN SUBSECTION (A)

(1), (3) , (4), (6) OR (7) MAY WAIVE AND NOMINATE IN

WRITING A PERSON OR CORPORATION TO SERVE IN HIS STEAD. A
NOMINEE OR A PERSON HOLDING A PRIORITY HAS THE SAME
PRIORITY AS THE PERSON MAKING THE NOMINATION.

(C)   SELECTION BY COURT.

AMONG PERSONS WITH EQUAL PRIORITY, THE COURT SHALL
SELECT THE ONE BEST QUALIFIED OF THOSE WILLING TO SERVE.
FOR GOOD CAUSE THE COURT MAY PASS OVER A PERSON WITH
PRIORITY AND APPOINT A PERSON WITH LESS PRIORITY[[.]] OR
NO PRIORITY.

(D)   NONRESIDENT NOT DISQUALIFIED.

NONRESIDENCE [[IN MARYLAND]] DOES NOT DISQUALIFY ANY
PERSON FROM SERVING AS GUARDIAN. ANY NONRESIDENT WHO IS
APPOINTED CANNOT QUALIFY UNTIL HE HAS ON FILE WITH THE
REGISTER OR CLERK AN IRREVOCABLE DESIGNATION BY HIM OF AN
APPROPRIATE PERSON WHO RESIDES IN THE STATE ON WHOM
SERVICE OR PROCESS MAY BE MADE IN THE SAME MANNER AND
WITH THE EFFECT AS IF IT HERE SERVED PERSONALLY IN THE
STATE ON THE NONRESIDENT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: THIS SECTION PRESENTLY APPEARS AS
ART. 93A, §207. TWO SUBSECTIONS ARE ADDED FOR
ORGANIZATIONAL PURPOSES. SUBSECTION (D) IS
SIMILAR TO THE PROVISIONS OF §5-105(6)
RELATING TO A NONRESIDENT PERSONAL
REPRESENTATIVE. THE ONLY OTHER CHANGES ARE IN
STYLE AND LANGUAGE.

13-208. BOND.

(A) EXCUSED BY INSTRUMENT.

WHERE THE INSTRUMENT NOMINATING A GUARDIAN EXCUSES A
NONCORPORATE GUARDIAN FROM FURNISHING BOND, THE COURT
SHALL NOT REQUIRE A BOND UNLESS EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES
ARE SHOWN TO EXIST WHICH MAKE IT NECESSARY TO REQUIRE A
BOND FOR THE SAFETY OF THOSE INTERESTED IN THE
ADMINISTRATION OF THE ESTATE.

(B)   CORPORATE GUARDIAN.

A CORPORATE GUARDIAN SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO
FURNISH [[BONDS]] BOND.
