Guardianships
Why do I need an attorney?
Florida Probate Rule 5.030 requires that every guardian must be represented by an attorney admitted to practice in Florida unless the guardian is an attorney admitted to practice in Florida.
Who may be appointed Guardian?

Who may not be appointed Guardian?
No person who has been convicted of a felony or has a confirmed report of abuse, neglect, abandonment, or exploitation. In addition, no person who may be incapable to perform the duties of guardian due to incapacity or illness or is other wise unsuitable.
