What, if any, is the difference between obtaining ''gaurdianship'' of a minor and ''gaurdianship of minors estate''? Can I have one without the other?

Re: Gaurdianship vs gaurdianship of minor's estate
Guardianship of the minor is the ability to make "parental" decisions. Guardianship of the property (estate) is the ability to control the assets of the minor. As a practical matter, it's hard to accomplish one without the other. Most such petitions are filed for the purpose of obtaining control over both.
