Entry Approving Settlement Of A Minors Claim (Stark) {22.2}

FORM 22.2 - ENTRY APPROVING SETTLEMENT OF A MINOR'S CLAIM. This form is used by the Stark County Probate Court to formally approve the terms and distribution of a settlement involving a minor who has suffered personal injury or property damage due to the wrongful actions or negligence of another party. After a hearing on the proposed settlement, the court issues this entry to confirm the amount of the settlement and authorize the payment of related expenses, such as medical bills, attorney fees, and litigation costs. It may also allocate a portion of the settlement to a parent or guardian for loss of the minor's services. The form specifies how the remaining funds, held for the benefit of the minor, are to be handled—whether deposited into a restricted bank account, delivered to a guardian, maintained by a parent or custodian, placed in a structured settlement, or transferred to a trust. The court may also require a formal release to be executed and may order a follow-up report detailing how the funds were distributed. www.FormsWorkflow.com
