85.49 Trustees for incompetent.

When a minor or mentally incompetent dependent is entitled to weekly benefits under this chapter, or chapter 85A or 85B, payment shall be made to the parent, guardian, or conservator, who shall act as trustee, and the money coming into the trustee's hands shall be expended for the use and benefit of the person entitled to it under the direction and orders of a district judge. The trustee shall qualify and give bond in an amount as the district judge directs, which may be increased or diminished from time to time.

If the domicile or residence of such minor or mentally incompetent dependent be outside the state of Iowa the industrial commissioner may order and direct that benefits to such minors or incompetents be paid to a guardian, conservator, or legal representative duly qualified under the laws of the jurisdiction wherein the minors or incompetents shall be domiciled or reside.
