How do you get legal guardianship of a 17 year old in KS?

To obtain legal guardianship of a 17-year-old in Kansas, you must file a petition with the local probate court, demonstrating that guardianship is in the best interest of the minor. You'll need to provide evidence of the minor's situation and your qualifications to serve as a guardian. The court may require a hearing where evidence is presented, and the minor may have a say in the proceedings. If the court approves your petition, it will issue a guardianship order.
