Re: settlement
Yes, but you have to get Probate Court permission first. Since there is "settlement money," I presume there is a guardian of the minor's property who has been appointed by the Probate Court. You would be well advised to seek the advice of a local attorney who is familiar with the local Probate Court's view on these matters.
