Yes, if the parents have legally given up the child, the older sibling can become the legal guardian, but of course you must be 18 or older and you must be seen by judge in court to approve. I have seen this with the death of the parents, and i am pretty positive you can, talk to a lawyer.
* Yes, if the older sibling is not a minor then there is a possibility that if they can prove they have a good job and can provide a safe environment for their younger siblings the courts may allow you to raise your sibling. If you are a minor then hopefully both of you will not be separated and you can live with grandparents or other relatives.
only if hes 18 and is properly apointed by the right people
An adoptive father is your legal guardian and is your father. A step father is a man who marries your mother. He does not have to adopt you and cannot unless your biological father agrees to give up his rights as a parent.
No, both sibling have the same right to inherit from a parent. The parent can choose to give children different inheritances by will.
Yes, if your guardian/parent agree to it and the parent wants to be contacted.
No. If the document calls for a parent or guardian it must be a parent or guardian. Unless the step parent has adopted the child or otherwise been awarded parental rights by the courts the legal parent must perform all legal functions
There are many different ways to become someone's gurdian but I'm pretty sure you have to be 18 yrs old. *If the parent or gurdian signs over rights to the child
children's rights are the human rights of children :D.The statement above doesn't make sense to me.But i think children have the right to do anything as long as it is legal, allowed by a parent or guardian and allowed for their age.For Example they can go on social networking sites underage if the parent or guardian lets them.
If the guardian parent gives permission any one can watch the child for a time.

There is no requirement for a sibling to be in a will.
The step-parent has no direct parental rights. The child's custody arrangements would have to be endorsed by family court.
No. A step parent, or any other adult that does not have custody of a child is NOT a legal guardian unless a court has given this right to the step parent. This usually requires one of the biological parents to give up their rights or to been seen as unfit to be able to carry them out.
No, as a biological parent, you should be entitled to more rights than any non-biological guardian, especially if you have partial custody, or visitation rights.
