A guardian ad litem is one that is appointed to make certain that a child’s interests are represented–usually when the child is sued. The guardian ad litem does not take custody of the child and does not control the child’s finances or estate they may have inherited. But if the child is sued–most often because they inherited something via a deceased parent–and they have no one to represent them in court, the guardian ad litem will serve that purpose.
