FLORIDA GUARDIANSHIP ATTORNEY

The State of Florida allows both voluntary and involuntary guardianship. For example, voluntary guardianship allows someone to appoint another individual to make decisions involving family or assets on their behalf. On the other hand, involuntary guardianship may involve a court granting guardianship based on lack of physical or mental capacity. Furthermore, legal guardianship of minors has specific laws and requirements. In short, Guardianship in Florida remains a highly complex process that shouldn’t be taken lightly. As a result, it’s important to have an experienced Florida Guardianship Attorney help guide you through the process.

Reasons for Guardianship

People seek guardianship for a variety of reasons. For instance, someone may obtain guardianship on behalf of an elderly person who can no longer manage property or be alone. Additionally, family members often seek guardianship over a minor child who lost their parents. Also, if a disabled child turns 18 years old and the parents can no longer make legal or healthcare decisions, the child requires a guardian. Therefore, guardianship applies in many circumstances; due to the importance of these decisions, legal guidance is absolutely necessary.
