What Is Guardianship Administration?
Guardianship administration is a court-supervised process that authorizes a person (the guardian) to act on behalf of another individual (the ward) who has been deemed legally incapacitated. This process is governed by Florida law and involves ongoing responsibilities, reporting, and legal compliance.
