Any plenary guardian or limited guardian of the person with mental retardation serving
in accordance with the provisions of sections 45a-669 to 45a-684, inclusive, may be
removed by the court of probate which appointed such guardian and another person
appointed guardian of the person with mental retardation if the court of probate making
such appointment, after notice and hearing as required in section 45a-671, finds such
removal and appointment of a new plenary guardian or limited guardian of the person
with mental retardation to be in the best interest of the respondent. In the event an
application for removal has been filed under this section, the attorney of record for the
respondent shall have access to all of the records of the respondent.

(Revisor's note: In 2005, a reference to Sec. 45a-668 was changed editorially by the Revisors to Sec. 45a-669 to reflect
the repeal of Sec. 45a-668 by P.A. 04-54).
