Fla. Stat. § 744.462

Determination regarding alternatives to guardianship

Known as the Florida Guardianship Law

The act spans §§ 744.101 to 744.534 (122 sections).

History.--s. 6, ch. 2006-77; s. 47, ch. 2006-217.

Any judicial determination concerning the validity of the ward’s durable power of attorney, trust, or trust amendment shall be promptly reported in the guardianship proceeding by the guardian of the property. If the instrument has been judicially determined to be valid or if, after the appointment of a guardian, a petition is filed alleging that there is an alternative to guardianship which will sufficiently address the problems of the ward, the court shall review the continued need for a guardian and the extent of the need for delegation of the ward’s rights.
