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.
