Court of Chancery of Delaware

Upon exceptions to a final accounting of a guardianship, the court concludes that: 1) an inter vivos transfer of a ward's car to a guardian constituted harmless error; 2) a bank lacks standing to challenge a change of beneficiary on an annuity, and in any event the change comported with the ward's intent; 3) although guardians had, and failed to comply with, a duty to disclose a claimed interest in certain accounts, a further hearing is required on that issue; and 4) the bank's claim for attorney's fees is denied.
