1. A public guardian may file with the board of county commissioners a request for an advance of money to pay necessary expenses incurred, or to be incurred, by the public guardian during a guardianship. The board may approve or deny the request. If the board approves the request, the board shall determine the amount to be advanced and advance that amount to the public guardian.
2. The board of county commissioners of any county may establish a revolving fund to be used to provide advances to the public guardian pursuant to subsection 1. If the board has established a revolving fund pursuant to this subsection, the board shall pay any advance approved pursuant to subsection 1 from the revolving fund to the extent that there is sufficient money in the revolving fund to pay the advance. After the money in the revolving fund has been exhausted, the board shall pay any advance, or any part of an advance, approved by the board from the general fund of the county. If the board has not established a revolving fund pursuant to this subsection, the board shall pay any advance approved pursuant to subsection 1 from the general fund of the county.
3. The public guardian must reimburse the county for any advance provided pursuant to subsection 1 from the assets of the estate of the protected person as soon as, and to the extent that, the assets become available. If the board of county commissioners has established a revolving fund pursuant to subsection 2, the board shall deposit in the revolving fund the money obtained from a reimbursement provided pursuant to this subsection. If the board has not established a revolving fund pursuant to subsection 2, the board shall deposit in the general fund of the county the money obtained from a reimbursement provided pursuant to this subsection.
