Rule 2060. Removal of Guardian Ad Litem and Appointment of Substitute.

(a)  The court, on its own motion or upon the petition of any party in interest, may remove the guardian ad litem of an incapacitated party and substitute the person’s guardian or another guardian ad litem.
(b)  The petition shall state the name and address of the person proposed, and the person’s relationship, if any, to the subject matter of the action or to any of the parties thereto. In case the person proposed is the guardian of the incapacitated person the petition shall contain a reference to the record of the appointment.

   Official Note
   A guardian does not automatically supersede a guardian ad litem appointed by the court. The court may find it undesirable to transfer the control of the litigation.
