A quick definition of ward-in-chancery:

A ward is a person who is under the care and protection of a guardian, usually a minor. There are different types of wards, such as permanent wards who have a permanent guardian assigned to them, and temporary wards who are under the supervision of a juvenile court. In the past, a ward-in-chancery was an infant under the supervision of the chancellor. A ward of admiralty is a seaman who is treated as a beneficiary in contractual matters. A ward of the state is a person who is taken care of by the government. Ward can also refer to a territorial division in a city or the act of guarding or protecting something or someone.

A more thorough explanation:

A ward-in-chancery is a person, usually a minor, who is under the protection or care of a guardian. This term is often used in legal contexts.

For example, a permanent ward is a minor who has been assigned a permanent guardian because the natural parents' rights have been terminated by a juvenile court. On the other hand, a temporary ward is a minor who is under the supervision of a juvenile court, but the parental rights have not been terminated.

Another example is a ward of the state, which refers to a person who is housed by the government and receives protection and necessities from them.

Overall, a ward-in-chancery is a legal term that refers to a person who is under the protection or care of a guardian, usually a minor. The examples illustrate different types of wards and their legal status.
