54. Payment of distributive shares of infant children

When the estate of any intestate in respect of which administration has been
granted does not exceed $1000 after payment of debts and such intestate has
left no partner but a child or children under age, the administrator may pay
or cause to be paid the distributive share or shares to which the said child
or children is or are entitled in such estate, after payment of the debts of
such intestate, to any person having the care and control of such child or
children without seeing to the application thereof and without incurring any
liability in respect of such payment.
