2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Of utmost importance, and consistent with the earlier-stated duty of the guardian ad litem to actively protect the rights of his [or her] client, is the prohibition against waiver of such rights. Even if the appointment is one made after hearing and determination of incompetency, the guardian ad litem is no more permitted to waive a substantial right of the ward than is an attorney for a competent client.”
