guardianship

---

Our veteran attorney, Paul J. Kneski, has been practicing law in Florida for more than forty (40) years. Paul helps his clients deal with the legal matters of incapacitated family members.

A person can be incapacitated by a court or deemed to be incapacitated.  In such cases a guardianship is established to protect the assets and well being of the incapacitated person.  When a person is incapacitated Florida's courts can appoint a guardian over the person and a guardian over the property of a person. 

In Florida, a parent of a minor is a natural guardian over the person. In cases where a minor child receives a  sum of money (over $15,000), such as after a personal injury lawsuit, the court will want to protect the child's assets and establish a guardian over the property of the minor. This is to protect the child. When the court establishes a guardian over the property of a minor the court must review and approve the way that the money is spent until the child attains eighteen (18) years of age.  Paul can help make sure the minor child's interests are looked after.

If you or a family member wishes to set up a guardianship for a friend or loved one, call Paul for a free consultation or complete the contact form below. Consultations with Paul are always free, and his professional staff speaks Spanish.
