Rule 2036. Affidavits by Minors

    Affidavits which are required to be made by a party to an action, including affidavits to the pleadings, may be made by a minor if the minor has sufficient mental capacity to understand the contents of the paper to which the affidavit is made and to appear in court as a witness. If the minor lacks such capacity, such affidavits shall be made by any competent person having knowledge or information as to the facts averred therein and shall state the reason for the minor's lack of capacity to make such affidavit.
