Can you hand a search warrant to a minor?
It is unclear what the questioner is asking. Law enforcement doesn't "hand' search warrants to anybody. If the question is asking about the search warrant being SERVED when there is no one home but a minor. . . yes, a search warrant can be served at anytime, even if nobody is at home.
How do I find out if I have a search warrant?
If the warrant is actually being "served" on you then it's probably in your best interests not to resist its service. Afterwards you can determine if it was valid or not by contacting the Clerk of The Court, from which the warrant was issued to determine if it is on file, or not.
If you are not home when a warrant is served can the police contact landlord in order to enter?

Is a warrant valid if your at another address than your mailing address?
An arrest warrant doesn't care where it is served, the address is not important. A search warrant is valid for the address or premise listed in the warrant. Whether it is your address or not will not change the validity of the warrant.
What happens if a search warrant is is lost by the police after the search?
It's generally required that a person with whom is being searched or having their property searched under the terms of a search warrant be served with a copy upon the beginning or completion of a search. If the warrant was lost you could request a copy from the clerk of courts. You may be able to also have the evidence suppressed because you were not properly served with a copy of the warrant upon the beginning or ending of a search.
Is it a violation of the fourth amendment If police said they have a search warrant and proceed to search the premise take items but do not show proof of the warrant when leaving?

What is the time frame on a search warrant?
Unclear what the questioner is asking. . . that the warrant was supposed to be served at a specific time, on a specific date? The only time/date that I am aware of that appears on search warrants is the time/date that it was prepared and the judge or magistrate signed it. If the question is referring to a 'drop-dead' date by which the warrant must be served or becomes invalid. . . then the answer depends on the type of warrant it is, and what it was issued for.
Do police have to fill out your copy of the search warrant?
You don't get a copy of the search warrant unless you are the owner or legal inhabitant of the premises on which the warrant was served. Then (according to the laws of your jurisdiction), at the conclusion of the search you may get a copy of the warrant along with the list of seized items.
What hours of the day may a search warrant be served?
A search warrent can be served at any time, regardless of the time. Uh...as long as it is during the day (i.e. 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. A nighttime warrant can be issued if there is a reasonable fear for public safety or the destruction of evidence.
Is a search and seizure warrant illegal or invalided if the judge signed it with the wrong year?
No, it is just a clerical error, but it must be corrected before the warrant can be served.
