1. When a guardian dies or is removed by order of the court, the court, upon the court’s own motion or upon a petition filed by any interested person, may appoint another guardian in the same manner and subject to the same requirements as are provided by law for an original appointment of a guardian.
2. If a guardian of the person is appointed for a protected minor pursuant to this section, the protected minor must be served with the petition. If the protected minor does not object to the appointment, the protected minor is not required to attend the hearing.
3. If a guardian dies or is removed by order of the court and there is not a legally qualified guardian or temporary substitute guardian who is willing to serve, the court shall notify an agency which provides child welfare services concerning the matter.
