353.330 Parties -- Representation of minors, mentally disabled, and persons not in
being.
All of the persons in being who have any present or contingent interest in the lands or
estate or interest sought to be leased shall be made parties to the proceedings authorized
in KRS 353.300 to 353.380, with any infant or infants being represented either by next
friend or statutory guardian or guardian ad litem, or in the case of constructive service of
summons by a warning order attorney appointed as in other cases. Any person adjudged
mentally disabled shall be represented by his guardian or conservator or by guardian ad
litem, or, in the case of constructive service of summons as in civil actions generally, by a
warning order attorney appointed as in other cases. If the court specifically finds that the
welfare or interest of any person or persons not in being requires special representation,
the court may appoint a trustee ad litem to represent such unknown parties not in being or
each separate class thereof, and such trustee ad litem shall file such pleadings or answer
and take such steps as he deems proper, and such unknown persons will be fully bound by
the proceedings hereunder. Otherwise, and in the absence of such finding by the court, it
shall not be necessary to make parties any persons not in being, either as "unknown
defendants" or otherwise, but the persons in being who are parties shall stand for and
represent the full title and whole interest in said lands or estate or interest therein, and all
parties not in being who might have some contingent or future interest therein, and all
persons, whether in being or not in being, having any interest, present, future or
contingent, in the property sought to be leased, will be fully bound by the proceedings
hereunder. It shall be permissible, however, to make defendants any unknown persons
who might have any interest in the land sought to be leased, under the style of "unknown
defendants."
