Guardianship
A person who fits the descriptions above can be protected by a guardianship. Guardianship is a legal proceeding in the circuit court of Florida and begins with a determination of the individualâ€™s capacity, or lack thereof. If an individual has been adjudicated as incapacitated, or lacking the capacity to care for himself or herself and his or her affairs, a guardian is appointed by the court. The guardian can be either an individual or a non-profit organization or a financial institution, and the guardian exercises the delegable legal rights for the incapacitated person, who is referred to as a “ward”.

Medicaid Planning
For Medicaid planning, it is important that the Durable Power of Attorney allow gifting. However, due to the possibility of your agent abusing the power, it is imperative that you discuss this with an Elder Law attorney before you include this language in your document.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
The stakes are high – and a thorough knowledge of the law, rules, and the manner in which different estate planning tools affect the Medicaid process is essential. Even if your loved one is currently in a nursing home, it may be possible to benefit from proper planning for Medicaid and the preservation of assets. As with all planning, however, the earlier it is undertaken, the greater the results.
Wills
This is a written declaration stating your wishes regarding the use of any life-prolonging medical treatment. In Florida, the Living Will covers machines as well as the use of artificial nutrition and hydration. As with the Health Care Surrogate appointment, there is not a required legislated form.
Trusts
Power of Attorney
When you sign a Durable Power of Attorney, you are giving legal authority to someone (called your agent or attorney-in-fact) to act on your behalf. This provides a simple way for someone to manage part or all of your financial affairs. The use of the word “durable” coupled with language in the document, which states it continues in effect if you are incapacitated, assures that your agent can act at any time.
