Pa.R.Civ.P. 2034. — Procedure When Minority of a Party is Ascertained.

(a) If the minority of a party is ascertained before trial, the only remedy available to any other party desiring to object to the non-representation of the minor shall be the right to apply for the appointment of a guardian for the minor and a stay of proceedings pending such appointment.

(b) If the minority of a party is first ascertained during the trial, the court may forthwith appoint a guardian of its own motion or upon the oral application of any person entitled under these rules to file a petition for the appointment of a guardian. In such cases the information required by these rules in petitions for such appointments shall be stated on the record.

(c) If the appointment of a guardian is made during the trial, the court may grant a continuance to enable the guardian properly to present the minor's case. The court may refuse a continuance if the minor has previously filed an affidavit asserting his or her majority.

(d) If, after the conclusion of the trial, or after the entry of a finding, verdict or judgment against a minor, application is made for the appointment of a guardian for a minor against whom any relief is sought, the court shall, in either case, forthwith appoint a guardian for such minor, and may vacate the finding, verdict or judgment and may enter an order in the nature of a procedendo.
