Section TCT.02.10 — Parties And Intervention

(a) Real Party in Interest. Every action shall be prosecuted in the name of the real party in interest, except a personal representative may sue in his or her own name without joining the party for whose benefit the action is maintained.

(b) Guardian ad Litem. When a juvenile or incompetent person has not had a general guardian appointed as a party, the Trial Court shall appoint a guardian ad litem to represent such person in the suit or action.

(c) Joinder of Parties. To the greatest extent possible, all persons or parties interested in a particular action may be joined in the action. Failure to join a party that is indispensable to the action shall result in dismissal.

(d) Intervention. A person may intervene and be treated in all respects as a party to an action in cases in which property he or she has an interest in may be affected or a question of law or fact common to a claim of his or hers may be litigated.
