But whether someone even qualifies as a \"minor\" under that Act depends entirely on the Majority Act, 1875, which fixes the age of majority at 18 years generally, or 21 years where a guardian has been appointed by a court before the minor turned 18. Because the definition of \"minor\" under the Guardians and Wards Act is explicitly tied back to the Majority Act, these two statutes function as a single practical unit in guardianship litigation — making this combined edition genuinely useful rather than just a convenient pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features \u0026amp;
