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.

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.
