The court may appoint a guardian ad litem to any respondent and allow suitable compensation payable out of the estate of the respondent, but the appointment shall not be made unless the court considers it necessary for the protection of the interest of the respondent; a judgment of any court is not void or erroneous because of the failure to have a guardian ad litem.
