both of my parents are passed away, and my little sister is the only minor out of the kids. but, she's also seventeen. the will my mother left behind, the courts said, "was not a legal will." that was the only thing stating I was to get custody of her. currently I do not have any proper papers saying I'm her guardian. with her going to be eighteen in eight months do I need to have those papers? other then the papers, she's very well taken care of, roof over her head, food, and she even has a job. however, I can't just come up with $500 for a filing fee since I do pay all the bills and buy groceries and etc. now. will not having those papers conflict with trying to get her medical insurance? thanks in advance.
