23-1066. Minor or incompetent claimant;
appointment of guardian ad litem; procedure
A. When it appears to the commission that a claimant for compensation or death
benefits is a minor or incompetent person, the commission may, upon motion of any party
to the proceedings or upon its own motion, appoint a trustee or guardian ad litem to
appear for and represent the minor or incompetent person, upon such terms and conditions
as it deems proper under this chapter or under the rules of the commission made pursuant
thereto. If required by the commission, the trustee or guardian shall give bond in the
form and character required by law from a guardian appointed by a superior court, and in
such amount as the commission determines. The bond shall be approved by the commission,
and the trustee or guardian shall not be discharged from liability until he files an
account with the commission or with the superior court in the county in which the minor
or incompetent person resides, and until the account, after due notice, is approved.
B. The trustee or guardian shall receive such compensation for his services as is
fixed and allowed by the commission or by a superior court.
