Yes, if your granddaughter is living with you, and being taken care of by you, then you are her guardian. In other words, being a guardian is not so much a legal status as it is a relationship. If the relationship exists, then you are the guardian.

How do you lose guardianship?

A person who has been appointed as a legal guardian can voluntarily relinquish his duty to the ward. That is the word which describes the person the guardian is supposed to be caring for, tending to his property, and other obligations for the welfair of the ward. The court where the guardianship was created is generally a probate court, or a special court for matters which concern children. The court acts with 'orders'. An order is a written instruction from the court. In cases where a guardian is not fullfilling his duties as prescribed by the law of the particular state, the court can revoke the guardianship. Guardianship is what all of the guardian-ward relationship is called. It is controlled by the specific law of the particular state. Because a guardian can legally act only within his instructions from the court, the guardian can be removed from his legal ability to act with the person or property of the ward. The court supervises what the guardian does. But the court generally does not do much of anything unless the questions are brought to the court by written documents presented to the court. For example, if the ward is unhappy with what the guardian is doing with his person or property, the ward has to approach the court for the court to consider the situation; or if the ward wants the guardianship to be ended or a diffierent guardian appointed, the ward or someone with an legally accepted interest in the situation has to approach the court for the court to consider the situation and the desires of the ward. or if a person with a legally accepted interest in the situation has questions about the extent of the order of the court empowering the guardian to act about the property or person of the ward, the matter must be brought to the attention of the court. The court evaluates the complaints and questions and decides if the guardian is acting in the best interests, or reasonable interests of the ward, if the court, after hearing all the information decides that the guarding is not acting in the interest of the ward, the guardian can be removed and replaced, or the guardianship altogether might be done away with because it is no longer needed.


How is guardianship acquired?

In general, guardianship can be acquired in two ways: either by assumption as the biological parents or through a court order. Legal guardianship is considered to be binding until the death of the guardian, the authority is terminated by court order or the child reaches the age of majority. However, it should be noted that there are different types of guardianship, some of which can be granted on a temporary basis even if the primary guardian has not relinquished authority over the child.
