Protecting Dignity, Safety, and Rights With the Least Restrictive Solution

Families may seek adult guardianship when a loved one cannot safely make some or all personal or financial decisions. The Law Office of Juan A. Pyfrom, P.A. guides families through Florida incapacity and guardianship proceedings while keeping the person’s rights, preferences, and least restrictive alternatives at the center of the discussion.

Understanding Adult Guardianship

Florida guardianship is court-supervised. A petition to determine incapacity and a request for guardianship involve notice, counsel for the alleged incapacitated person, evaluation, and judicial findings. Florida law favors the least restrictive form of assistance and requires consideration of alternatives before plenary guardianship.

How We Help

Prepare and coordinate incapacity and guardianship petitions.

Explain limited and plenary guardianship and the rights at issue.

Assist proposed guardians with education, reports, plans, inventories, and court requirements.

Advise guardians concerning fiduciary duties, care decisions, finances, and ongoing compliance.

  • Medical and care information relevant to current needs.
  • Existing powers of attorney, trusts, and health care directives.
  • Family and next-of-kin information.
  • Income, benefits, asset, debt, and living-arrangement information.
