Legal Research Home > Pennsylvania Statutes

     § 5102.  Power of natural guardian.
        The court may authorize or direct the parent, person, or
     institution maintaining the minor to execute as natural
     guardian, any receipt, deed, mortgage, or other appropriate
     instrument necessary to carry out a decree entered under section
     5101 (relating to when guardian unnecessary) and, in such event,
     may require the deposit of money in a savings account or the
     care of securities in any manner considered by the court to be
     for the best interests of the minor. The decree so made, except
     as the court shall expressly provide otherwise, shall constitute
     sufficient authority to all transfer agents, registrars and
     others dealing with property of the minor to recognize the
     persons named therein as entitled to receive the property, and
     shall in all respects have the same force and effect as an
     instrument executed by a duly appointed guardian under court
     decree.
