I am so sorry for your daughters health. You did not say what you are trying to contract for? to contract hospice? Does your daughter have an Durable POA or Advanced Directive done while she was not incapacitated? I am in Ga so Hope a FL attorney will answer. In Ga we would (absent a valid POA or Advanced Directive done while not incapacitateda) get emergency Guardianship appointment. Fairly easy application but need hearing. If this is for Hospice. You can check with Medicare they pay for it. It may be less formal.
