Emergency Temporary Guardianship
Home » Our Practice » Incapacity And Guardianship » Emergency Temporary Guardianship
When circumstances require immediate intervention, an expedited form of Guardianship based on a Incapacity may be requested. If the Court can be convinced there is imminent risk of harm to the Ward’s health or finances an Emergency Temporary Guardian may be appointed to exercise some or all of a person’s delegable rights until the question of the person’s Incapacity has been resolved. Emergency Temporary Guardianship may only last ninety (90) days. (See F.S. §744.3031)
