Guardianship
Sometimes family members disagree who should manage the affairs of an incapacitated relative. Sometimes a person is threatened by a family member as being incapacitated when he or she is not, or at least believes such is the case. Situations like this make for a contested guardianship because a court has to resolve: (1) whether the individual is incapacitated and, (2) if so, to what extent, and (3) who should be appointed as guardian to manage that person’s affairs. Such disputes require hearings, a trial, and ultimately a resolution by the court. Contested guardianships can also involve other matters such as the removal of a guardian or other action to challenge the conduct of a guardian.

Wills
A document which governs the withholding or withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment from an individual in the event of an incurable or irreversible condition that will cause death within a relatively short time, and when such person is no longer able to make decisions regarding his or her medical treatment. Living wills are permitted by statute in Florida.
Trusts
A legal entity created by a grantor for the benefit of designated beneficiaries under the laws of the state and the valid trust instrument. It is a fiduciary relationship in which a person (called the trustee) is the holder of legal title to specific property, subject to an equitable obligation to keep, manage, safeguard, invest and administer the property for the benefit of another who holds equitable title to the property (called the designated beneficiaries) In Florida, a trust may be created for any purpose which is not illegal and which is not against public policy. There are many different types of trusts, but the two most frequently used trusts are: (1) private express trusts, which have one or more ascertainable persons as beneficiaries; and (2) charitable trusts, which are for a purpose that is classified as charitable (e.g. the advancement of religion, science, and education, and the promotion of health) and cannot be for the benefit of identifiable individuals. For federal tax purposes, the charity must be classified as a charitable organization under the IRC §501(c)(3) to receive tax exempt treatment.
Power of Attorney
