But neither the ward nor his real estate shall be liable for any such disbursement. (a) § 10.

(b) The guardian of a non-resident minor, appointed in Kentucky, must pay or hand over to the foreign guardian the personal estate of his ward, provided the latter comes with proper documentary evidence that he is under proper bond to account to the ward for all the estate coming into his hands. (Martin vs. McDonald, 14 B. M., 548.)
