Re: legal guardianship
If the supposed ward has lived in the same county all his/her life, you can check the probate and family court records for that county. If s/he has moved around, you will have to check each county court's records.
Sometimes parents assume they are guardians for a handicapped child who becomes an adult, but this is not true.
