If a guardian has been appointed in another state and a petition for the appointment of a guardian is not pending in Puerto Rico, the guardian appointed in the other state, after giving notice to the appointing court of an intent to register, may register the guardianship order in Puerto Rico by filing as a foreign judgment in the appropriate court, certified copies of the order and letters of office. The same shall apply in the case of protective orders issued by other states.\nHistory —Oct. 5, 2012, No. 296, § 9.1.
