A Minor's Compromise

Under Pennsylvania law, "no action to which a minor is a party shall be compromised, settled or discontinued except after approval by the court pursuant to a petition presented by the guardian of a minor." Pa.R.C.P. 2039. So, if a minor child has one surviving parent who dies due to another's negligence the child could bring a wrongful death claim through their natural guardian. Once the case settles, if the child has not yet turned 18, the settlement would have to be approved by a court. A hearing is held in which both parties and the minor are present and the judge then approves (or disapproves) the settlement. If approved, the funds shall be transferred to the guardian of the estate of the minor or be held in a trust until the child reaches the age of majority.
