Persons Disqualified from Being Appointed as a Guardian

Summary

The bill revises Florida’s guardian‑appointment rules by keeping most felons barred, but creates an exception for parents whose felony convictions are at least ten years old, fully completed, and unrelated to financial abuse. Courts may still require bonds, budgets, and more frequent reporting to protect the ward’s assets. It also adds that a guardian can be removed if convicted of a felony after appointment.
