524.5-405 ORIGINAL PETITION: MINORS; PRELIMINARIES TO HEARING.
(a) Upon the filing of a petition to establish a conservatorship or for another protective
order for the reason that the respondent is a minor, the court shall set a date for hearing. If the
court determines at any stage of the proceeding that the interests of the minor are or may be
inadequately represented, it may appoint a lawyer to represent the minor, giving consideration to
the choice of the minor if the minor has attained 14 years of age.
(b) While a petition to establish a conservatorship or for another protective order is pending,
after preliminary hearing and without notice to others, the court may make orders to preserve and
apply the property of the minor as may be required for the support of the minor or individuals
who are in fact dependent upon the minor, and may appoint an agent to assist in that task.
