- GuardianshipIn matters involving claims of minor children, the parents or natural guardian is authorized to accept settlement proceeds without court involvement when the amounts received, taken together, do not exceed $15,000. However, if a person under the age of 18 receives a settlement in an amount greater than $15,000 as the result of being injured, the settlement must be approved by a judge and administered through “a minor guardianship.”
