Guardianship & Guardianship Advocacy Services

Guardianship is a legal determination made by the court through which a guardian is appointed to make decisions on behalf of an individual who has been deemed incapacitated and is unable to manage his affairs independently. This encompasses critical aspects such as medical and financial decisions.

We also offer guardianship advocacy services in Florida, providing a pathway for family members, caregivers, or friends of individuals with developmental disabilities to obtain legal authority to act in their best interests. This process is designed for situations where the person may lack the ability to make some, but not all, necessary decisions regarding their care or property, allowing them to maintain some level of independence.

Importantly, this advocacy can be pursued without the need to declare the individual with a developmental disability incapacitated.
