When someone you care about can no longer safely manage important parts of their life, the court can appoint a guardian to step in and help protect them. In Florida, a guardian is a person appointed by the court to act on behalf of another person, called the ward, for personal, medical, and financial decisions the ward can no longer handle alone. Guardianship is a protective legal relationship designed to keep a vulnerable person safe.
