If any person entitled to a benefit from this system is a minor who has no guardian of the estate, the board, if within the limits as to amount of payment and value of the minor’s estate specified as of the time of payment under the provisions of the Probate Code authorizing payment to a parent of a minor entitled to the minor’s custody, may pay it to the person entitled to custody of the minor to hold for the minor, if the person files with the board a verified statement that the total estate of the minor does not exceed the value so specified or, if in excess of those limits, may pay it to the probate court, and the court may order that the money be deposited in a bank or banks, or a trust company or companies, or invested in an account or accounts in an insured savings and loan association or associations, subject to withdrawal only on order of the probate court, or it may require a guardian of the estate to be appointed and the money paid to the guardian, or prescribe other conditions as the court in its discretion deems to be in the best interest of the minor.
Payment so made is a full discharge of the board and this system. The person shall account to the minor for the money when the minor reaches the age of majority.
The term “account in an insured savings and loan association” used in this section has the same meaning as in Section 23 of the Probate Code.
