How to handle the transfer of the guardianship of a minor?
I’m 14 and live in IN. Would my grandmother’s attorney from TX (where she lives) need to come IN to sign guardianship papers if my adopted parents are giving guardianship over to my biological grandmother?

If your adopted parents are willing to give guardianship of youself to your grandmother, and you and your grandmother are also willing to agree to your grandmother being your guardian, all that needs to be done is to have the necessary paperwork be sent to you and your adopted parents for signature (preferably before a notary public) and then sent back to Texas for your grandmother to sign (preferably before a notary public).
Your adopted parents and your grandmother need to make sure what type of guardianship is being given over. Meaning, custodial guardianship of yourself or custodial guardianship of your assets or both?
Insurance, medical, dental, and educational records need to also be transferred to your grandmother if she is going to be your custodial guardian.
Good luck.
