Keep in mind that a minor could have had several guardians in their life if one of more of their parents were deceased.
Guardian of the person–watched over the child and the child typically lived with them.
Guardian of the estate–watched over the child’s inheritance.
Guardian ad litem–a guardian appointed who was usually a lawyer to represent a child who was somehow involved in court action. A guardian ad litem was actually serving as the child’s “lawyer” and was not a guardian of the child’s person or estate.
The first two could be the persons or maybe not. Much depends upon the situation.
