What is Guardianship?
When a guardian is appointed by the court to care for a particular individual, they may be responsible for financial, physical, or medical considerations on behalf of that person. Adults may need a guardian to help them make decisions if they are mentally or physically incapable of doing so, such as if they have dementia. Minors, on the other hand, may need assistance if they acquire assets totaling more than $15,000 in value, or if the minor has no living parents.
Continue Guardianship
There are generally two different types of guardianship for adults:
- Guardianship of the person, which gives the guardian the power to make medical decisions for someone mentally incapable of doing so
- Guardianship of the property, which gives the guardian the power to make financial decisions on behalf of a person who lacks the mental capacity to do so
Any adult Florida resident may serve as a guardian in these cases, as can a close relative of the individual regardless of where they live. Charitable organizations, religious organizations, and other institutions may also be appointed guardianship when applicable.
