Navigating Guardianship in Florida: Protecting Loved Ones
Guardianship is a vital legal tool for families seeking to care for individuals who cannot make decisions for themselves due to age, disability, or incapacity. Whether you’re in Miami, Broward, or anywhere else in Florida, understanding the guardianship process is essential to ensure your loved ones are protected. At Hadeed Legal, we proudly serve families across all counties in Florida, with a focus on providing personalized support to clients in South Florida.
What is Guardianship?
Guardianship is a court-supervised legal arrangement where a guardian is appointed to make decisions on behalf of someone unable to manage their personal, financial, or medical affairs. This can apply to:
Minors: When parents are unable to care for their child due to absence, incapacity, or death.
Adults: Individuals with disabilities or medical conditions, such as dementia, that prevent them from making sound decisions.
