(1) The court may remove a conservator for good cause, upon notice and hearing, or accept the resignation of a conservator. After the death, resignation, or removal of a conservator, the court may appoint another conservator. A conservator so appointed succeeds to the title and powers of the preceding conservator.

(2) Before removing a conservator, accepting the resignation of a conservator, or ordering that a protected person's incapacity has terminated, the court shall follow the same procedures to safeguard the rights of the protected person as apply to a petition for appointment of a conservator as provided in Section 75-5-407. The court is not required to appoint an attorney to represent the ward if the case is uncontested and the protected person's capacity is not at issue.
