Section 1517 Of Article 2. Appointment Of Guardian Generally From California Probate Code >> Division 4. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 1. >> Article 2.
1517
. (a) This part does not apply to guardianships resulting from
the selection and implementation of a permanent plan pursuant to
Section 366.26 of the Welfare and Institutions Code. For those
minors, Section 366.26 of the Welfare and Institutions Code and
Division 3 (commencing with Rule 5.500) of Title Five of the
California Rules of Court specify the exclusive procedures for
establishing, modifying, and terminating legal guardianships. If no
specific provision of the Welfare and Institutions Code or the
California Rules of Court is applicable, the provisions applicable to
the administration of estates under Part 4 (commencing with Section
2100) govern so far as they are applicable to like situations.
(b) This chapter shall not be construed to prevent a court that
assumes jurisdiction of a minor child pursuant to Section 300 of the
Welfare and Institutions Code, or a probate court, as appropriate,
from issuing orders or making appointments, on motion of the child's
counsel, consistent with Division 2 of the Welfare and Institutions
Code or Divisions 4 to 6, inclusive, of the Probate Code necessary to
ensure the appropriate administration of funds for the benefit of
the child. Orders or appointments regarding those funds may continue
after the court's jurisdiction is terminated pursuant to Section 391
of the Welfare and Institutions Code.
