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.
