[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe if children are abandoned they legally qualify as orphans. So for example if both paretns are living and choose not to participate, a child becomes an orphan, goes into the system and gets all the benefits. But yes a lawyer would know better.[/quote] Yes, I may need to help her find a lawyer. It is more a question for all the financial aid forms (for college) and various banking forms. She is trying to sort out all the legal/financial pieces that come with her mother's death and there are so many. Seeing as she is the one managing the estate and everything to do with it and filling all the paperwork out, there are frequent explanations that need to be given. Also many of the forms do not have an option for one parent deceased, one parent uninvolved - there was a box for parents deceased, or one for single parent. Not an issue for her friends or random people. Her father is on her birth certificate. [/quote]
