You will definitely need to seek a guardianship in FL. Emergency temporary guardianships can be gotten fairly quickly, but guardianships are usually fairly expensive. This cost can depend somewhat upon on the county of residence. It may be more difficult to have you named as an out of state guardian. A bond may be required.
