Minor&#39;s legal right to his personal property
<p>I am the legal guardian of my 14-year-old grandson and have been since he was 2 years old.  He has resided with his Aunt for the past 6 years.   Due to issues concerning his safety in her home, he has requested to reside with me.   I have brought him to live with me and now his Aunt is refusing to return clothing, personal items, etc. to him.  I have bought many of the items in question, my grandson has purchased some of the items himself, and many were gifts he received.</p>
<p>Does he have any legal rights to these personal items?  If so, what is the process to get these items back?</p>

<h2>Children own their personal property</h2>
<p>Although legal guardians may place limits on access or use.</p>
<p>Unless the aunt is a legal guardian she has no right to retain them. Ask for their return. If she refuses, sue for their return.</p>
