Failure to Support Ward; Reimbursement of Third Party

Whenever a guardian fails, neglects or refuses to furnish suitable support, maintenance or education for his ward, the court may order him to do so, and enforce such order by proper process, and whenever a third person, at the request of a ward, supplies him with such suitable support, maintenance or education, and it is shown to have been done after the refusal or neglect of the guardian to supply the same, the court may direct the guardian to pay therefor out of the estate and enforce such payment by proper process.
