Section 632. Manner of payment

1.  The award shall be paid in a lump sum,
  except that in the case of death  or  protracted  disability  the  award
  shall  provide  for periodic payments to compensate for loss of earnings
  or support. No award made pursuant to this article shall be  subject  to
  execution  or  attachment  other  than  for  expenses resulting from the
  injury which is the basis for the claim.
    2. Where a person entitled to receive an award is a person  under  the
  age  of  eighteen years, an incompetent, or a conservatee, the award may
  be paid to a relative, guardian, committee, conservator, or attorney  of
  such  person  on  behalf  of and for the benefit of such person. In such
  case the payee shall be required to file a periodic  accounting  of  the
  award  with  the  board and to take such other action as the board shall
  determine is necessary and appropriate for the  benefit  of  the  person
  under the age of eighteen years, incompetent or conservatee.
