What is the name of your state?MN
My cousin past away when his son was 1 1/2 years old. His son's name is
Joe. Joe's mother past away when he was 2. Joe was raised by an uncle and aunt on his mother's side. Joe has no memory of his parents. Before his mother died, she made the aunt and uncle Joe's legal guardians. He is now 19 years old and living in South Dakota where he was raised. My wife and I along with our son and Joe would like to be a family of 4. Do we need anything from the aunt and uncle to do this even though he is an adult? What do we need to do otherwise?
