	 • apply for recognition as a natural guardian of a minor who owns, wholly or in part, Legacy Treasury Direct securities in an
estate where a legal representative has not been appointed.
	 • apply for recognition as a natural guardian when a designated natural guardian is no longer acting. (A death certificate,
physician’s certificate, or certified evidence of court action must be submitted as proof of the designated natural guardian’s
inability to act.)
IMPORTANT NOTE

WHO MAY APPLY
The parent with whom the minor resides may apply. If the minor resides with both parents, either or both may apply. The
parent who has not joined in the application should consent by signing the statement within the box
in Section 3. If the parents are separated or divorced, no consent is required provided that a certified copy of court records is
furnished showing that the parent applying has custody. If the minor does not reside with either parent, the person who
furnishes the minor’s chief support may apply.
No application will be considered if the Department of the Treasury is on notice that 1) the minor’s disability no longer exists
under the laws of the state of his or her residence, 2) a legal guardian or similar representative of the minor’s estate had been
appointed, 3) the applicant is not entitled to act as natural guardian, or 4) the minor has died.

did not apply as natural guardian with you, please have your spouse sign the statement within the box. If you’re separated
or divorced, furnish a certified copy of court records showing you have custody of the minor.
If you are applying as the furnisher of chief support for the minor, provide the names and addresses of others who regularly
contribute to the minor’s support and the extent of their contributions (expressed as a percentage of the minor’s total support).
Indicate whether the minor resides with you. If not, provide the name and addresses of the person with whom the minor resides.
