New Hampshire requires court approval of a child's settlement when the net amount is over $10,000, and a probate guardian of the estate
New Hampshire handles a child's injury settlement under RSA 463:19-b, which sets the $10,000 net threshold and the guardian-of-the-estate proof, with the net amount defined in 463:2 and the guardian's duties in 463:19. An adult is 18 under 21:44, and the child's extended deadline is in 508:8.
