Legal Questions for Law Junkies.

A minor moves into an apartment paid by a legal guardian. The legal guardian has also signed the lease to this apartment.

The legal guardian is 3-5 hours away, living in the same state but a different city, and visits a couple days a month.

IF the minor were to have charges pressed against him/her, or if something, anything, were to happen involving authorities/medical personal - would the legal guardian be at fault in any way?

I don't think so, but sometimes courts like to play their little games, just as they do to parents.

Yes. Even though, the legal guardian is a couple hours away, the lease is in he person's name so that person is responsible for anything that happens.

Were charges brought against you, then no, there would be no fault, provided the act was not a result of their negligence etc.

Were it a civil case, then yes, absolutely.

depends on what the incident was...if it was something entirely separate from the apartment then i'm sure the minor could be charged with whatever it is dependant on US law regarding ages of legal responsibility

if it was to do with the apartment then the guardian would be responsible, at least in part, for anything relating to the apartment because it was leased in their name

regardless the guardian would be culpable of neglect and abandonment laws separate from any incident if there was no transfer of duty of care as there is say as boarding schools or camps

Also depends on the statutory laws of that state with respect to binding and/or persuasive authorities/opinions if pursued against the person.
