guardianship rights
Parental authority claim
Guardianship rights are the legal powers granted to a guardian over another person—typically a minor child or an incapacitated adult.
These rights include making decisions about the ward's residence, education, healthcare, and daily welfare.
Courts award guardianship when parents are absent, unfit, or deceased, or when adults can no longer manage their own affairs.
