Appointing LEgal GUARDIANSHIPS in Jacksonville, FL
Helping You Establish Guardianship for an Incapacitated Loved One
We all need a little help from time to time, some of us more than others. Children and the elderly especially may need help when making big life or legal decisions. A guardian is a person appointed by a court to care for a person who cannot meet his or her own needs, known as a ward. There are three types of guardianship in Florida, including guardianship of an adult, guardianship of a minor, and guardian advocacy. A Florida guardianship attorney can help you or your loved ones establish the proper guardianship for your unique situation.
UNDERSTANDING FLORIDA GUARDIANSHIP
A guardianship is a legal proceeding in the Florida courts in which a guardian is appointed to exercise the legal rights of an incapacitated person. A guardian in Florida is an individual or institution (such as a nonprofit corporation or bank trust department) appointed by the court to care for an incapacitated person — called a “ward” — or for the ward’s assets.
Although the powers and duties of guardians are like the powers and duties of parents concerning minor children, a court cannot appoint a guardian for an adult unless that person is subject to a disability that prevents them from effectively caring for himself or herself in Florida.
