Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 9, § 1021. Interdiction of veterans in government institutions; manner of service

Where it is necessary to interdict a person who is the beneficiary of the War Risk Insurance Act or the National Service Life Insurance Act of 1940, and he is not present in the state and is actually incarcerated in an institution maintained by the United States of America for the care of such persons, citation and service of the petition shall be made in the following manner.

A copy of the petition certified by the clerk of the court having jurisdiction, and a citation shall be served on the defendant by and through the officer in charge of the government institution in which he is confined. A certificate signed by such officer to the fact that such service has been made shall be accepted by the court in lieu of a personal service, provided there shall be produced in the trial of the case proof that the defendant is confined to such a government institution, and a certified copy of the records of the medical examination made by the officers of the United States of America is filed in evidence.

This Section applies solely to the cases of soldiers, sailors, marines, and nurses, beneficiaries under the War Risk Insurance Act or the National Service Life Insurance Act of 1940, and does not amend or repeal the laws relative to interdictions generally.
