Section 26-5-10 Final settlement generally - Examination of vouchers and auditing and stating
of account; taxing of costs for contest or examination where voucher or items rejected. On
the day appointed or on any other day to which the settlement may be continued, the court
must proceed to examine the vouchers and to audit and state the account, requiring evidence
in support of all such vouchers or items of the account as may be contested or as may not
on examination appear to the court to be just and proper, such evidence to be taken by affidavit
or in any other legal mode. If any voucher or item be rejected, all costs accruing on the
contest or examination thereof must be taxed against the conservator or his or her personal
representative and not against the ward or his or her estate. (Code 1886, §2462; Code 1896,

Section 26-9-16 Discharge of guardian. When a minor ward for whom a guardian has been appointed
shall have attained his or her majority and has not been found incompetent and when any incompetent
ward has been rated competent by the administration, a certificate of the administrator or
his or her duly authorized representative to that effect shall be prima facie evidence that
a guardian is no longer required and the court, upon the guardian filing a satisfactory final
account, may discharge such guardian upon a petition filed for that purpose. Nothing contained
in this section shall be construed to prevent a ward from filing a petition for the discharge
of his or her guardian on the ground that the ward has attained majority or is competent or
the court from acting on its own motion in such cases. (Acts 1931, No. 240, p. 280; Code 1940,
T. 21, §176.)...

minors and deducted therefrom on any distribution of the estate. (b) An executor or administrator
defraying such expenses must file with his account for a settlement a separate account of
