A quick definition of natural guardian:

A natural guardian is a person who has the legal responsibility to take care of someone else, like a child or a person who is unable to take care of themselves. This can be a parent, or in some cases, another family member. The natural guardian is in charge of making sure the person they are responsible for is safe, healthy, and has everything they need. They have the power to make decisions for the person they are taking care of, like where they live, what they eat, and what medical care they receive.

A more thorough explanation:

A natural guardian is a person who has legal authority and duty to care for another person or their property, especially if the person is a minor, incapacitated, or disabled. The term is also known as a custodian or guardian.

For example, a father or mother is usually the natural guardian of their child until the child reaches the age of 21. If one parent dies, the other parent becomes the natural guardian. In the absence of a statute, the father of a legitimate child is the natural guardian until the child reaches the age of 21.

Another example is a standby guardian, who is appointed by a parent to assume responsibility for a child at a future date if the parent becomes incapable of caring for the child.

These examples illustrate how a natural guardian has the legal authority and duty to care for another person, especially if the person is a minor, incapacitated, or disabled.
