Cate to the rejection of the court for good rea- son, when he is entitled to choose again; 14 Ga. 594. So guardianship by the sole appointment of the infant cannot now be said to exist. If the court appoint one be- fore the age of choice, the infant may ap- pear and choose one at that age, without any notice to the guardian appointed; 30 Miss. 458; 15 Ala. N. S. 687; 50 Ga. 332; 38 Conn. 304. But if none be chosen, then the old one acts. It seems that in Indiana the old one can be removed only for cause shown; in which case, of course, he is en- titled to notice; 8 Ind. 307. See 96 Pa. 243. As to the method of appointment by the Ward see 1 Sharsw. Bla. Com. 462, note 8. A probate, surrogate, or county court has no power to appoint, unless the minor resides in the same county: 2 Bradf. Surr. 214; 7 Ga. 362; 9 Тех. 109; 16 Ala. N. S. 759; 27 Mo. 280; 45 Mo. App. 415; but where the ward is a nonresident, guardian- ship is frequently recognized for the col- lection and preservation of his estate in the jurisdiction, and in such cases, the court where the property is situated will appoint a guardian, the existence of the property determining the jurisdiction; 4 Allen 466; 27 E. L. & Eq. 249. Persons residing out of the jurisdiction will not usually be appointed guardians; but this rule is not invariable, except in those states which require resident guardians by stat- ute; Schoul. Dom. Rel. 419. It has been a subject of much doubt whether a married woman may be a guard- ian; while there are cases which sustain their acts while acting as guardians, clear precedents for their actual appointment are wanting. See 2 Dougl. 433. It has been held, however, that a married woman may be co-guardian with a man, though her sole appointment is improper; L. R. 1 Ch. 387. See 29 Miss. 195; 1 Paige 488; 19 Ind. 88. A single woman by her marriage loses her guardianship, it would seem; but she may be reappointed; 2 Kent 225, n. b; 2 Dougl. 433. It seems probable that recent statutes relating to the rights of married women will modify these cases. Where there is a valid guardianship unrevoked, the appoint- ment of another is void; 23 Miss. 550. The court has jurisdiction to interfere with and remove the guardian of a child who has no property, on proof of miscon- duct of the guardian towards the child or on proof that it is for the welfare of the child that the guardian should be removed ; [1893] 1 Ch. 143. Powers and liabilities of guardians. The relation of a guardian to his ward is that of a trustee in equity, and bailee at law; 2 Md. 111. It is a trust which he cannot as- sign; 1 Pars. Contr. 116. He will not be allowed to reap any benefit from his ward's estate; 2 Comyns 230, except for his legal compensation or commission; but must ac- count for all profits, which the ward may elect to take or charge interest on the capi- tal used by him; 17 Ala. N. S. 306; he can- not purchase lands belonging to him; 54 Ark. 627. He can invest the money of his ward in real estate only by order of court; 3 Ind. 320; 3 Yerg. 336; 21 Miss. 9, 38 Me. 47; 56 N. W. Rep. (S. Dak.) 82; 56 Fed. Rep. 699. And he cannot convert real estate into personalty without a similar order; Field, Inf. 109; 25 Mo. 548; 4 Jones 15; 16 B. Monr. 289; 1 Rawle 293; 1 Ohio 232; 1 Dutch. 121;.2 Kent 230. The law does not favor the conversion of the real estate of minors; 14 Pa. 372; but if it be clearly to the interest of a minor that his real estate be sold and converted into money, the court will award an order of sale, notwithstanding that in the event of his death during minority, the proceeds would go to other parties than those to whom the land would have descended had it not been converted; 6 Phila. 157. The rule is different in England; there land converted into money. or money into land, retains its character of land or money, as the case may be, during the nonage of the minor: 6 Ves. 6; 11 III. 278. They cannot bind their wards by contracts as to the proportion of the claims against the estate each shall bear; 2 Colo. App. 300. He may lease the land of his ward; 1 Pars. Contr. 114; 2 Mass. 50; but if the lease extends beyond the minority of the ward, the latter may avoid it on coming of age; 1 Johns. Ch. 561; 10 Yerg. 160; 2 Wils. 129; 5 Halst. 133. He may sell his ward's per- sonalty without order of court; 27 Ala. N. 8. 198; 19 Mo. 345; 152 U. S. 499; and dispose of and manage it as he pleases; 2 Pick. 248. He is required to put the money out at in- terest, or show that he was unable to do this; 21 Miss. 9; 2 Wend. 424; 1 Pick. 527; 7 W. & S. 48; 13 E. L. & Eq. 140; 92 Mich. 275; 39 Ill. App. 382. And in the absence of evidence to the contrary. it will be pre- sumed that a guardian might have kept funds of his ward at interest; 39 Ill. App. 382. If he spends more than the interest and profits of the estate in the maintenance and education of the ward without permis- sion of the court, he may be held liable for the principal thus consumed; 1 S. & M. 545; 26
