Legal Guardianship is an important, court-directed process that ensures the interests of incapacitated adults and minors are protected.

Legal Guardianship is an important, court-directed process that ensures the interests of incapacitated adults and minors are protected. Incapacity can result from dementia, stroke, injury, or other medical conditions, that render a person unable to care for themselves and/or their property. Minors (under age 18) that receive an inheritance or settlement from a legal claim may require a guardianship of that property depending on the amount received.
Guardian Advocacy is a special type of guardianship for developmentally disabled adults.
We handle guardianship and guardian advocacy. If you are interested in learning about the process and whether it is necessary for a family member or loved one, please contact the office to schedule a consultation.

“Diagnose-your-own-illness” websites (aka Dr. Google) can be tempting, but the results aren’t always reliable. The same is true for do-it-yourself will sites. Every individual’s situation is different — there is no one-size-fits-all will.

“Diagnose-your-own-illness” websites (aka Dr. Google) can be tempting, but the results aren’t always reliable. The same is true for do-it-yourself will sites. Every individual’s situation is different — there is no one-size-fits-all will.
Each state, including Florida, has specific legal requirements for a will to be valid. These rules govern how a will must be signed, witnessed, and sometimes notarized. A will that doesn’t meet these standards can be partially or completely invalid, meaning your assets could be distributed as if you had no will at all. Even a minor error in a DIY will can complicate probate, delay asset distribution, increase administrative costs, and open the door to legal challenges that may undermine your final wishes.
Consulting an estate planning attorney ensures that your will is legally sound and that you and your loved ones are fully protected.

The Florida Rescue Farm in Duette provides a home and safe shelter for unwanted farm animals. They adopt animals that have been surrendered by their owners or animals that have been abandoned and are found by concerned individuals or by other animal rescue organizations. To assist in sustainability we also rehome some of these animals to carefully screened families. The farm offers sanctuary to chickens, ducks, geese, goats, cattle and other livestock. For more information or to arrange a tour, please email info@floridarescuefarm.org or call (941) 209-9558.
