    (a) The representative of an estate of an owner who is a minor, an 
aged person, incompetent, absentee, et al., may receive payment upon 
request:
    (1) If the registration shows the name and capacity of the

    (2) If the registration shows the capacity but not the name of the 
representative and the request is accompanied by appropriate evidence; 
or
    (3) If the registration includes neither the name of the 
representative nor his or her capacity but the request is accompained by 
appropriate evidence.
    (b) Appropriate evidence for paragraphs (a) (2) and (3) of this 
section includes a certified copy of the letters of appointment or, if 
the representative is not appointed by a court, other proof of

request for payment appearing on the back of a bond must be signed by 
the representative as such, for example, ``John S. Jones, guardian 
(committee) of the estate of Henry W. Smith, a minor (an incompetent)''.
