In California, when a minor is awarded compensationeither through settlement or trialit must go through a process called a Minors Compromise. This is a court-approved agreement designed to: Ensure the settlement is fair and reasonable. Protect the funds until the child turns 18.
However, minors do have some legal rights and responsibilities. For example, under Mississippi law, 18-year-olds can enter into contracts and settle personal injury lawsuits.
Mississippi law requires court approval for any settlement involving a minor, even if its agreed upon privately.
Structured settlements are a common choice for minors settlements. These settlements are most often paid through annuities. Settlement funds are intended to be used to meet the childs needs and provide them stability until they turn 18, or longer depending on the extent of the injury.
Following your name, add a hyphen and write the best word that describes your relationship to the minor such as parent or guardian. Finally, sign the check and write your account or the minors custodial account number.
