10    Sections Section 2032A and 2057 of the Internal Revenue Code.
11    A  parent,  without being appointed guardian of the person or
12    guardian of the estate, or a guardian of the estate,  or,  if
13    no  guardian  of the estate has been appointed, a guardian of
14    the person, of any minor or disabled person whose interest is
15    not adverse to the minor or disabled  person,  may  make  any
16    election  and  sign, without court approval, any agreement on

18    2032A  of  the  Internal  Revenue  Code  for the valuation of
