Section 26-9-6

Procedure for appointment of guardian - Certification as to age, etc., of minor ward.

Where a petition is filed for the appointment of a guardian of a minor ward, a certificate of the administrator or his representative setting forth the age of such minor as shown by the records of the administration and the fact that the appointment of a guardian is a condition precedent to the payment of any moneys due the minor by the administration shall be prima facie evidence of the necessity for such appointment.
