        633A.6306  APPOINTMENT OF GUARDIAN AD LITEM.
         1.  At any point in a judicial proceeding, the court may appoint a
      guardian ad litem to represent and approve a settlement on behalf of
      the interest of a minor, an incapacitated, unborn, or unascertained
      person, or a person whose identity or address is unknown, if the
      court determines that representation of the interest otherwise would
      be inadequate.
         2.  If not precluded by conflict of interest, a guardian ad litem
      may be appointed to represent several persons or interests.
         3.  The court shall set out its reasons for appointing a guardian
      ad litem as a part of the record of the proceeding.
         4.  In approving a judicially supervised settlement, a guardian ad
      litem may consider general family benefit.
