What are the steps to get guardianship on my 28 year old daughter?

Answered 13 years and 6 months ago by attorney Astrid de Parry   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Guardianship And Conservatorship
You should seek out an attorney who practices in the field of guardianship. If your daughter had a developmental disability prior to turning 18, you may be able to initiate Guardian Advocate proceedings. Guardian Advocate proceedings do not require the individual to be found incapacitated, and are much less time consuming and expensive than Guardianship proceedings. A guardianship attorney can assist you with determining which proceedings you need to pursue. If you are located in Volusia County, please call my office at (386) 736-1223.

Can a sibling take guardianship of a physically impaired brother although he is married and the wife is providing care for him?

Answered 14 years and a month ago by attorney Astrid de Parry   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Guardianship And Conservatorship
The following are my responses to your questions: "Can a sibling take guardianship of a physically impaired brother although he is married and the wife is providing care for him?" The sister can petition a court to have her brother deemed incapacitated and to have herself appointed guardian. However, she may not be aware that guardianship is a lengthy and expensive process. Additionally, there must be a finding by a three-person examining committee that the individual is incapacitated. "...take legal guardianship of brother so he could see kids regardless of R.O. Can she do that?" The sister cannot circumvent a restraining order by being appointed guardian of her brother. She will have to honor the restraining order in place. ... Read More

Does the spouse of a person that is deemed mentally imcopetant automatically become the persons guardian in the state of florida?

Answered 14 years and 4 months ago by attorney Astrid de Parry   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Guardianship And Conservatorship
Guardianship is a process with many steps. Who is appointed guardian depends on the situation, and what is in the best interest of the incapacitated person. The spouse is not an "automatic" choice for guardian. For example, it is possible that if adult children or other relatives contest the appointment of the spouse, that there would be a hearing on the appointment of the spouse as guardian. If you feel your spouse is incapacitated, seek out an elder law attorney to help guide you through the guardianship process. ... Read More
