b. Notice of hearing shall be given to the minor and to the persons who would be entitled to notice if the regular procedures for appointment of a guardian under the New Jersey Rules of Court were applicable.
c. The Superior Court shall grant an application for the transfer of a guardianship established in another state unless the court determines that the proposed guardianship is a collateral attack on an existing or proposed guardianship or the transfer and appointment would not be in the best interest of the minor.
