(b) Unrepresented Infant or Incompetent Person. If an infant or an incompetent person does not have a representative:
(1) a next friend or guardian ad litem may file the petition; and
(2) the court must appoint a guardian ad litem or issue any other order needed to protect the interests of the infant debtor or incompetent debtor.
