yeah.. added: Keep in mind that if a parent/guardian signs a contract for a minor it is the ADULT that is responsible for complying with the terms of the agreement. In most (all?) states, a minor cannot be legally bound by a contract.

What are the legal ramifications of a step parent signing legal documents for a minor?

You haven't explained what documents you refer to. Generally, the documents aren't binding since the step-parent has no legal authority to sign for the child. Also, it may constitute fraud since the step parent knows they do not have legal authority and they went ahead and signed as the parent. BY signing they may place the other party in jeopardy if the other party doesn't know they have no legal authority. They may be sued by the parent if they placed the child in a situation the parent did not approve.You haven't explained what documents you refer to.
