Guardianships
Minor Guardianship and Incapacitated guardianshipsOur guardianship practice consists of providing quality services to those who may need to establish a legal guardianship because they are unable to take care of themselves. This can be done for minors or for others who are determined to be incapacitated. Establishing a guardianship is legal proceedings where the court monitors the well-being and/or financial situation of an individual who is unable to do so without the assistance of a guardian. This occurs in a variety of ways, such as a minor child who is involved in an automobile accident and receives a substantial amount of money as a result. In Florida, a guardianship is required when a minor receives significannt sums of money, even when the child lives with his/her parents. The guardianship protects the assets of the minor until he or she reaches the age of majority or as otherwise determined by the Court. Another type of guardianship occurs when an individual lacks the mental or physical capacity to take care of his or her affairs. We can help determine what type of guardianship, if any, is required and assist clients through the entire process.
