§560:5-115  Guardian ad litem.  At any
stage of a proceeding, the court or the family court may appoint a guardian ad
litem if the court or the family court determines that representation of the
interest otherwise would be inadequate.  If not precluded by a conflict of
interest, a guardian ad litem may be appointed to represent several individuals
or interests.  The court or the family court shall state on the record the
duties of the guardian ad litem and its reasons for the appointment.  Persons
appointed by the court or the family court, as applicable, to serve as
guardians ad litem or to perform any other duties that may be requested by the
court in guardianship and protective proceedings shall be compensated in the
amounts, if any, that the court deems appropriate and reasonable.  Any such
compensation shall be paid from the respondent's assets or other source under
the jurisdiction of the court or the family court as it shall order. [L 2004, c
