The married parents, the parent with legal custody, or any other adult who has been appointed the legal guardian by virtue of a court order.

In certain legal matters a parent may be required to be appointed a child's legal guardian in order to represent the child in matters of estate such as when a child inherits property or receives a monetary award.
