A Pennsylvania Petition to Settle a Minor's Compromise is a legal document used to settle a minor's financial obligations, such as medical bills, insurance claims, and other debts. It is typically filed by a parent or guardian on behalf of a minor, and requires judicial approval. The petition must include detailed information about the minor's financial situation, as well as the proposed settlement terms. There are two types of Pennsylvania Petition to Settle a Minor's Compromise: Consent Petitions and Non-Consent Petitions. Consent Petitions involve consent from all parties involved in the settlement, including the minor, and require approval from the court. Non-Consent Petitions are filed when one or more parties are unwilling to consent to the settlement. This type of petition requires an independent guardian ad item to represent the minor's interests in court.
