Potential Legislative Crisis in Florida
There may be a potential legislative crisis in Florida that affects vulnerable persons.
Floridas Evidence Code may soon be modified in such a way that hearsay testimony (of an incapacitated persons oral declarations) from potentially conflicted guardians, beneficiaries or heirs at law could become admissible in a court of law.
Currently, Florida Statute 90.602 provides protection for incapacitated persons by forbidding self-serving hearsay of alleged oral declarations as admissible evidence in court:
(1) No person interested in an action or proceeding against the personal representative, heir at law, assignee, legatee, devisee, or survivor of a deceased person, or against the assignee, committee, or guardian of a mentally incompetent person, shall be examined as a witness regarding any oral communication between the interested person and the person who is deceased or mentally incompetent at the time of the examination.
