State Ex Rel. North Carolina Bank & Trust Co. v. Parker
Supreme Court of North Carolina
State Ex Rel. North Carolina Bank & Trust Co. v. Parker, 167 S.E. 495 (N.C. 1933)
204 N.C. 54; 1933 N.C. LEXIS 320
Stagy
State Ex Rel. North Carolina Bank & Trust Co. v. Parker
Opinion of the Court
The rule, generally accordant with the decisions, is that, jurisdiction to appoint a successor to a guardian ordinarily resides with the court making the original appointment, though the residence of the ward may have been changed in the meantime. 28 O. J., 1109. Especially is this so, where, as here, suit against the original guardian and his surety is necessary to obtain a settlement. 15 A. & E. Enc. of Law, 35 and 120.
Nor are our own decisions contrariwise. Credle v. Baugham, 152 N. C., 18, 67 S. E., 46.
Affirmed.
