Temporary maintenance pending appointment of committee
23In any case where, pending the appointment of a committee, it appears to the court desirable that temporary provision be made for the expenses of the maintenance or other necessary purposes or requirements of the mentally incompetent person, or any member of his family, and others who are dependent on him, out of any cash or available securities belonging to him in the hands of his bankers or of any other person, the court is at liberty to authorize by certificate such banker or other person to pay to the person named in such certificate such sum as it certifies to be proper, and may by such certificate give any directions as to the proper application thereof for the mentally incompetent person’s benefit by that person, who shall be accountable for the same as the court directs.
