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.

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.
