§ 406 Person under disability bound by proceeding

When a court case involves someone who can't fully represent themselves, like a child, a person who is incompetent, or someone under a conservator's care, the court often appoints a guardian ad litem or lets a guardian, committee, or conservator act on their behalf. This rule says that once that happens, the outcome of the case counts fully against that person, just as if they had no disability at all.

This also applies in cases where the law doesn't require a guardian ad litem to be appointed, or where that requirement is waived. Even without a formal guardian, the person is still bound by whatever happens in the case.

In short, this rule makes sure that court decisions are final and enforceable, even when the person involved needed extra legal protection during the process. It protects the fairness of the outcome so that other people involved in the case, like family members, creditors, or heirs, can rely on the result.
