A guardianship is sometimes a necessary proceeding when the facts and circumstances warrant it.
In some cases, unfortunately a person acting as an attorney-in-fact, healthcare surrogate, or successor trustee might have ulterior motives that cause them to make decisions which are not in the best interest of the individual for whom they are acting.

A guardianship may be necessary when a person (the "Ward") is no longer competent or capable to care for themselves or their finances.
If an attorney-in-fact, healthcare surrogate, or successor trustee was not appointed when the potential ward was competent to do so, a legal guardianship may be the only option.
Guardians may be family members, friends, or a professional court appointed guardian.
All guardians must meet the requirements of the Court and take a training class provided by the Probate Court.

My litigation practice focuses on real estate, commercial, and probate issues.
Real estate litigation often involves issues such as evictions, foreclosures, boundary disputes, and title problems.
Commercial litigation most often, but not always, involves a breach of a contract and the collection of a debt.
Many commercial disputes are resolved by artful settlement strategies and mediation before a court hearing is necessary.
Probate litigation involves various issues that become contested in probate and guardianship cases, such as the validity of the will or the appointment of a guardian.

Probate is the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person.
In Florida, an attorney must be hired to probate an estate.
If the value of an estate is less than $75,000 or if the decedent died more than two years ago, a summary proceeding may be used, otherwise, a formal administration is required.
As one would expect, a summary administration is less expensive and quicker than a formal administration.
Each heir, beneficiary, and interested party must be identified and notified of the probate proceeding.
