What is Guardianship?
Guardianship administration is the process of filing an appropriate petition for the appointment of a guardian, following the applicable Florida Statutes and guardianship rules, and ultimately having a guardian appointed by the Court for the individual known as the “Ward”. This often includes filing a petition to determine the proposed Ward’s level of capacity or incapacity. A guardianship may be for the appointment of the guardian to manage the delegable rights of the Ward and/or their property. A guardian is an individual appointed by a judge to make decisions on behalf of the Ward. The court-appointed guardian may manage the Ward’s property and exercise certain delegable rights of the Ward. A guardian is often a family member and sometimes a professional guardian is appointed in certain cases.
