Sec. 6. Where a petition is filed for the appointment of a guardian
for a minor, a certificate of the secretary or the secretary's authorized
representative, setting forth the age of such minor as shown by the
records of the department and the fact that the appointment of a
guardian is a condition precedent to the payment of any moneys due
the minor by the department shall be prima facie evidence of the
necessity for such appointment.
