§ 1713. Administration of infant's property\n 1. Upon the petition of the guardian or of the infant or of any person\nin his behalf, the court, upon notice to such persons, if any, it deems\nproper, may by order direct the application by the guardian of the\ninfant's property to\n (a) the support and education of the infant;\n (b) the cost of the funeral of a parent of the infant;\n (c) the cost of the funeral of any other person who had no other\nassets available for funeral expenses and who had named the infant as\nbeneficiary of a policy of insurance upon his life or as beneficiary or\ndonee of any other property, to the extent that the guardian shall have\ncollected such proceeds or property.\n 2. In all cases the court may determine the amount of expenditure of\nthe infant's funds that is reasonable, proper and just under the\ncircumstances, taking into consideration the liability, if any, of any\nother person to pay such expenses, his financial ability to pay and all\nother relevant facts. The payment may be made from income or principal.\nNo payment for the funeral expense of any person shall be authorized\nunless the court finds that the estate of such person is insufficient to\npay it.\n 3. Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision 1 a guardian is\nauthorized to apply social security payments received for the benefit of\nthe infant to his education and support without order of the court.\n 4. Any infant over 14 years of age or any person in behalf of any\ninfant may petition the court having jurisdiction over the infant's\nestate for the appointment of a guardian ad litem to initiate in behalf\nof the infant a proceeding for the protection of the infant's financial\nor other interests and in such proceeding authorize the guardian ad\nlitem to take such action as the court deems proper. The court may\nentertain the petition if in its judgment the interests of the guardian\nof the infant are adverse to those of the infant or if in its opinion\nother valid reasons exist for the initiation of such a proceeding by\nanother than his guardian. It may in similar case appoint a guardian ad\nlitem for such purpose whenever facts have come to its attention showing\nthe necessity for protecting the interests of the infant.\n
