What Is a Limited Guardianship and Who Is It For?<\/h2>\n

A limited guardianship gives a guardian power over only the specific rights the court lists. Florida law defines a limited guardian as a guardian the court appoints to exercise the rights and powers the court specifically designates.<\/p>\n

Families usually look at this option when an adult can still handle much of daily life but needs help with certain decisions. Those decisions might include paying bills, choosing where to live, or consenting to some medical care. Petitioners can include adult children, spouses, or siblings.<\/p>\n

The judge decides whether limited guardianship fits the facts. A family’s wishes alone do not settle the question. The court looks at the evidence about what the adult can and cannot do.<\/p>\n
