- How AI is used
- Columns are how the file describes the minor or the person with a disability, the amount printed, and the representative named, or a blank if none is named. Write no sentence of an approval application.
- What the lawyer must review
- California Probate Code § 3600 states when that chapter applies: a court approves a compromise of a minor's disputed claim, approves a compromise of a pending action to which a minor or a person with a disability is a party, or gives judgment for that person, and the compromise, covenant, or judgment provides for payment of money or other property for that person's benefit. The section does not state the standard for approval. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 17(c) says who may sue or defend for a minor or an incompetent person. If that person has no duly appointed representative, the court must appoint a guardian ad litem or issue another appropriate order. Rule 17(c) is not a settlement-approval rule. You write the papers.
