N.Y. Mental Hyg. Law § 81.37

§ 81.37 Resignation or suspension of powers of guardian.\n (a) The court appointing a guardian may allow the guardian to resign\nor may suspend the powers of the guardian.\n (b) Where a guardian is engaged in war service as defined in section\nseven hundred seventeen of the surrogate's court procedure act, the\ncourt, upon motion by the guardian or any other person and upon such\nnotice as the court may direct, may suspend the powers of the guardian\nuntil further order of the court. If the suspension will leave no other\nperson acting as guardian, the motion shall seek the appointment of a\nsuccessor. When the suspended guardian becomes able to serve, he or she\nmay be reinstated by the court upon motion and such notice as the court\nmay direct. If the suspended guardian is reinstated, the court shall\nthereupon discharge his or her successor, who may be required to\naccount, and make any other order as justice requires.\n
