1Opinion of the CourtBeilfuss, C. J.
On May 24, 1979, an order was entered by the Door County Circuit Court requiring the Bank of Sturgeon Bay in its capacity as guardian of the estate of Elliot Nelson, an incompetent, to pay the Department of Health & Social Services (H&SS) all funds available from the guardianship assets in excess of $1,-500. This order was issued under the authority of sec. 46.10(2), Stats. From this adverse ruling, the Bank of Sturgeon Bay (guardian) appealed. This court subsequently granted the guardian-appellant’s petition to bypass the court of appeals under sec. 808.05.
