If the legal residence of a person suffering from mental illness is in another county of the state, the necessary expense of his return shall be a proper charge against the county of residence. If an adjudication and order of hospitalization by the county of temporary residence is required, the regular probate court fees and expenses incident to the order of hospitalization, under this chapter, and any other expense incurred in his behalf, shall be charged to and paid by the county of his legal residence upon the approval and certificate of the probate judge thereof. A certified transcript of all proceedings had in the ordering court shall be sent to the probate court of the county of the residence of such person. The court shall enter and record such transcript. The certified transcript shall be prima-facie evidence of the residence of such person. When the residence of the person cannot be established as represented by the ordering court, the matter of residence shall be referred to the department of mental health for investigation and determination.
