A "guardian ad litem" is someone who is appointed by the court to represent the interests of someone in a single court action/lawsuit. Guardians ad litem are often appointed in divorce and custody disputes to represent the interests of minor children (similar to a disinterested parent). Guardians ad litem can also be appointed to represent the interests of mentally ill or disabled persons. Essentially, these guardians are attorneys or volunteer advocates who assert the interests of those who may not be able to fully advocate for themselves.

A guardianship deed means the owner of the real estate was/is the ward of a court appointed guardian. When any buyer accepts a deed from a guardian they must make certain the guardian was appointed by a court of jurisdiction, that they are the current guardian and that they had a license from the court where the land lies to sell the real estate.
