TITLE 2: NATURAL RESOURCES
DIVISION 4: LAND RESOURCES
§ 4247. Hearings Involving Minors or Incompetents. If the Senior Land Commissioner or a land registration team finds that any party in interest is a minor or incompetent, the Senior Land Commissioner or team, as the case may be, shall appoint one person to act as guardian and represent such minor or incompetent, unless that party in interest is already represented by a person appointed by a court or other proper authority. A guardian appointed by the Senior Land Commissioner or team shall have full authority and power to act for the minor or incompetent in all matters in connection with his or her interest in land; provided, that a guardian may not encumber or in any way alienate any land under his or her guardianship except by an order of the court.
