How Guardianship Helps Individuals And Families

Guardianships create a specific legal relationship between a person and their guardian. It creates a legal and financial duty on behalf of the guardian. Guardians are responsible for the care and well-being of those in their charge. As a guardian, you will be able to:

  • Help manage your loved one’s finances
  • Make medical decisions on your loved one’s behalf
  • Represent your loved one in legal discussions

Your loved one needs support. So do you. Our firm understands your concerns and needs. Florida residents often depend on our firm for help establishing guardianships, especially for those seeking to help their elderly family members. We are ready and able to help you.

How Guardianships Can Protect The Vulnerable

In Florida, guardianships can work to protect the vulnerable by providing them with:
  • Financial security: A guardian can manage bank accounts, pay bills and ensure funds are used in the individual’s best interest.
  • Legal authority: Guardians can receive and sign legal documents on behalf of the vulnerable individual. This can allow guardians to sign off on significant medical, financial or other decisions that can affect the vulnerable individual’s life.
  • Personal care and safety: Guardians can make decisions regarding the living situation and daily needs to safeguard and care for them.
