No, a legal guardian must be of the legal age that is required by the state in which the minor children reside. The legal age to become a guardian of minor children is not necessarily the same as the state's age of majority.

No, if there is a court appointed guardian, that person has legal precedence over a parent.

Can a 16-year-old move out of their parents' home without permission provided they are moving in with a legal guardian?

Who has legal custody of you? Your parents or this other person that you refer to as a 'legal guardian'? More detail is needed in order to answer this question. A legal guardian or guardian ad litum is someone who has been designated by the court to oversee the welfare of a minor or in some cases an adult who has been deemed legally incompetent. If you have a guardian who has been appointed by the court you may leave the parental home and reside with that person w/o permission of anyone else. Once the court has granted guardianship that person has legal power to oversee anything that relates to the minor including where the live.
