I have to admit I seriously considered doing this. When the pandemic hit, we had to send kid emergently to live with his 23 yr old (but not very mature) brother, and honestly, we didn’t know at the time whether we’d ever see him again. We gave the older brother temporary guardianship for medicolegal reasons, but I did consider the option of going to court to give true legal guardianship to older brother, for the purpose of making the kid eligible for fin aid. Didn’t do it, but did consider it.
