(c) Minors or Incompetent persons
In every case where the court is requested to approve a settlement involving the claim of a minor
or incompetent, an independent guardian ad litem, who shall be an attorney-at-law, must be
appointed by the court, and said guardian ad litem shall investigate the adequacy of the offered
settlement and report thereon; provided, however, that the court may dispense with the
appointment of the guardian ad litem if a general guardian has been previously appointed for
such minor or incompetent, or if the court affirmatively finds that the minor or incompetent is
represented by independent counsel.
