Letters Of Guardian Advocate Of The Person Only

LETTERS OF GUARDIAN ADVOCATE (CO-GUARDIAN ADVOCATES) OF THE PERSON. This form is issued by a Florida Circuit Court to officially appoint an individual (or individuals) as a Guardian Advocate for a person with a developmental disability. This document is used in cases where the individual lacks the decision-making capacity to manage certain aspects of their personal care and well-being. This form grants the Guardian Advocate(s) specific powers and responsibilities, such as the ability to apply for government benefits, determine residency, consent to medical treatment, make social and educational decisions, and initiate support actions on behalf of the person with a disability. However, certain major decisions—such as institutionalization, sterilization, life support termination, and participation in experimental treatments—require additional court approval. The document also clarifies that the respondent (person with a disability) retains all legal rights except those specifically assigned to the Guardian Advocate. This ensures that the individual maintains as much independence as possible while receiving necessary support. www.FormsWorkflow.com
