Rule 54 Distributions to Persons Under Disability

Part IX. Recoveries for, and Distributions to, Minors and Protected Adults

If a person petitions the court to approve a distribution from a conservatorship estate, a decedent's estate, or a trust, and if the person reasonably believes that a distributee is a minor, an incapacitated adult, or an adult in need of protection, the person must notify the court of the distributee's status as a minor, an incapacitated adult, or an adult in need of protection. If a court has appointed a guardian or conservator for the proposed distributee, or if a court has approved other protective arrangements for the proposed distributee, the petitioner must provide the court with a copy of the order appointing the guardian or conservator or the order approving the protective arrangement.
