Sec. 266.12  Effect of matters or actions submitted or taken by legal 
guardian, etc.

    All matters and actions in connection with an annuity submitted or 
taken by the guardian or other person legally vested with the care of 
the person or estate of an incompetent or a minor shall be considered by 
the Board in the same manner and with the same effect as though such 
matters or actions had been submitted or taken by the ward, if the ward 
had capacity to act in his or her own behalf; Provided, however, That 
the Board may, if it deems it necessary, require the guardian or other 
person legally vested with the care of the person or estate of an 
incompetent or a minor to submit a certified copy of an order from the 
court of appointment authorizing some particular action which the 
guardian or other person legally vested with the care of the person or 
estate desires to take in connection with the application.
