What is an Order Approving Disposition of Proceeds of Judgment for Minor?
Court approval is required for all settlements involving a minor. (Code of Civ. Proc., § 372; Prob. Code, § 3600.) The Court must have an opportunity to review proposed agreements to ensure its terms are in the best interests of the minor. (Pearson v. Super. Ct. (2012) 202 Cal.App.4th 1333.)
“[A] minor… shall appear either by a guardian or conservator of the estate or by a guardian ad litem appointed by the court in which the action or proceeding is pending, or by a judge thereof, in each case.” (Code of Civ. Proc., § 372.)
“[I[f there is a guardianship of the estate of the minor… the remaining balance of the money and other property, after payment of all expenses, costs, and fees as approved and allowed by the court… shall be paid or delivered to the guardian or conservator of the estate. Upon application of the guardian or conservator, the court making the order or giving the judgment… or the court in which the guardianship or conservatorship proceeding is pending may, with or without notice, make an order that all or part of the money paid or to be paid to the guardian or conservator under this subdivision be deposited or invested.” (Prob. Code, § 3602(b).)
The trial court is authorized to approve and allow payment of reasonable expenses, costs, and attorney fees in an action concerning the compromise of a minor’s claim. (Prob. Code, § 3601(a); Curtis v Estate of Fagan (2000) 82 Cal.App.4th 270, 277-279; Code Civ. Proc., § 373.5.) Attorney's fees for services to a minor use a “reasonable fee” standard. (Rules of Ct., Rule 7.955.) “In determining a reasonable attorney's fee, the court may consider the following nonexclusive factors:
If the fee is contingent.”
(Rules of Ct., Rule 7.955(b).)
“A petition for… disposition of the proceeds of a judgment for a minor… must be verified by the petitioner and must contain a full disclosure of all information that has any bearing upon the reasonableness of the compromise, covenant, settlement, or disposition.” (Rules of Ct., Rule 7.950.)
“The petition must be prepared on a fully completed Petition to Approve Compromise of Disputed Claim or Pending Action or Disposition of Proceeds of Judgment for Minor or Person With a Disability (form MC-350).” (Rules of Ct., Rule 7.950.)
