36. If, on the date of death, the person who is a victim is a minor and has no children or dependants, the victim’s parents are entitled to equal shares of a lump sum of $59,189. If one of the 2 parents is deceased, has been deprived of parental authority, has abandoned the person who is a victim or otherwise cannot obtain financial assistance under the Act, the share of that parent accrues to the other parent. If both parents are deceased, the amount is paid to the succession of the person who is a victim, except where the property of the succession is to be taken by the State.
