§560:5-203 - Objection by minor or others to parental appointment.
§560:5-203 Objection by minor or others to
parental appointment. Until the court has confirmed an appointee under
section 560:5-202, a minor who is the subject of an appointment by a parent and
who has attained fourteen years of age, the other parent, or a person other
than a parent or guardian having care or custody of the minor, may prevent or
terminate the appointment at any time by filing a written objection in the
court in which the appointing instrument is filed and giving notice of the
objection to the guardian and any other persons entitled to notice of the
acceptance of the appointment. An objection may be withdrawn, and if
withdrawn, is of no effect. The objection shall not preclude judicial
appointment of the person selected by the parent. The court may treat the
filing of an objection as a petition for the appointment of an emergency or a
temporary guardian under section 560:5-204, and proceed accordingly. [L 2004, c
