Answer:
In Florida, guardianship is established by filing legal documents with a court. A notarized letter from her mother may not be sufficient proof of guardianship on its own. The proper procedure can vary, especially if there are immigration considerations. It's best to consult a local attorney who can review your specific situation and documents.
