for something to be necessary means it would make sense to have it, and to need something is to not be able to go without it.

They are both basically the same. "Needed" is more commonly used as the past tense of "to need", so it might be more clear to use "necessary" in your sentence- "parents' consent is necessary for the legal act of minors"
"Needed" is usually used like this: "I needed to eat" or "She needed to leave"
"Necessary" is usually used like this: "It is necessary to bring your bag" "It is necessary to be on time for work" :)
