Court Officers, Court-Appointed Persons, and Attorneys · Guardians Ad Litem
The Legislature has enacted more than one Estates Code section numbered 1054.053. This is version 1, in Subchapter B.
Unless the court determines that the continued appointment of a guardian ad litem appointed in a proceeding for the appointment of a guardian is in the ward's best interests, the guardian ad litem's term of appointment expires, without a court order, on the date the court:
(1) appoints a guardian; or
(2) denies the application for appointment of a guardian.
