Every guardian, who shall receive on account of his ward any moneys from the veterans administration shall file with the court annually on the anniversary date of the appointment, in addition to such other accounts as may be required by the court, a full, true, and accurate account under oath of all moneys so received by him, of all disbursements thereof, and showing the balance thereof in his hands at the date of such account and how invested. At the time of the filing in the court of any account, a certified copy thereof shall be by the guardian served by mail on the office of the veterans administration having jurisdiction over the area in which such court is located. A correct copy of any petition or other pleading pertaining to such account or affecting in any manner the ward or his estate shall similarly be so served. The court, unless hearing be waived in writing by the chief attorney of the veterans administration, shall fix a time and place for the hearing on such account, petition, or other pleading, not less than 14 days, nor more than 30 days from the date of said service, unless a different available date be stipulated in writing. Written notice of the time and place of such hearing shall be given the veterans administration office concerned, and the guardian, not less than 14 days before the date of hearing, and may be given by mail.  When such notice shall have been given as provided herein, any order entered in respect to such account, petition, or other pleading shall have the same effect as if entered after notice by publication as provided in the statutes of the state of Michigan in such case made and provided, and in such case notice by publication shall not be made, unless on order of the court for good cause shown. Upon an attorney for said veterans administration entering his appearance or filing waiver with respect to any such hearing, no guardian ad litem shall be appointed except upon motion by any interested party and for good cause shown.  Upon rendering any such account the guardian shall produce for examination by the court, or a duly authorized clerk or other appointee thereof, all securities, evidence of balance on deposit, and investments reported therein, which shall be described in such account in sufficient detail so that they may be identified, and the court or its duly authorized clerk or other appointee shall ascertain whether such securities, balance on deposit, and investments correspond with such account, and if so shall certify to that effect upon the account filed with the court and upon the copy or certificate supplied the veterans administration.  The clerk shall mail said veterans administration office a copy of each order entered in any guardianship proceeding wherein the veterans administration is an interested party.
