§44-11-3. Transfer of property of nonresident infant or insane person to foreign guardian or committee.

When any infant or insane person, entitled to property or money in this state, resides out of it, a petition to remove such property or money to the domicile of such infant or insane person may be filed by his guardian or his committee lawfully appointed or qualified in the state or country of his domicile, in the circuit court of the county wherein the guardian or committee in this state was appointed or qualified, or if there be none, in which the property or money, or some part thereof, is. To such petition the guardian of such infant or the committee of such insane person appointed or qualified in this state, if there be one, shall be made a party defendant. Upon a hearing of the case on its merits, the court may order the guardian or committee in this state, if there be one, to pay and deliver to such foreign guardian or committee, or his agent or attorney, all personal property and money in his hands belonging to such infant or insane person, and authorize such foreign guardian or committee to sue for, recover and receive all money or personal property which belongs to the infant or insane person, including the accruing rents of his real estate, in like manner as if he were appointed a guardian or committee of such infant or insane person in this state, and to remove the same to the state or country in which such foreign guardian or committee was appointed or qualified.
