Well, first off, minors can't sue, you must be at least 18 years old.

if you are over 18 years old, you can sue without your parents agreement.

if you are under, you can not sue but if your parents agree with you wanting to sue, then your parent can sue for you.

A minor may be able to sue even if his/her parents disagree as long as the court appoints a guardian ad litem for the minor to bring the lawsuit. The sole authority the guardian ad litem has is to act on behalf of the minor in that particular litigation.

Can children sue their parents if they are deceased?

Yes they can, indirectly, such as in a case of wrongful death where the deceased parents killed others by the same actions which resulted in their own deaths. In other words, the accident or incident that killed the parents also killed a child or other person, and there is reason to think that the parents committed an act of negligence that resulted in the death of others. However, you would not be suing the parents, but making a claim against their insurance. But if the insurance refuses to pay, then you would sue the insurance company. Anyway, the children would not be suing the parents, but their parents' insurance or their parents' estate.
