On the final account and settlement of a ward's estate, when the person entitled to the estate is the ward, the guardian will not be discharged unless the ward appears before the Court and acknowledges the settlement and approves the final account in open Court. The personal attendance of the ward may be waived by the Court whenever the Court is satisfied, by affidavit of the ward filed with the Clerk or by other evidence, that the final settlement is just and equitable, that the ward is in possession of all of his estate, and that the personal attendance of the ward is impracticable.
