Guardianship

Summary

The bill would amend Florida’s guardianship statutes so a guardian could not block an adult ward from communicating with a specific person unless there is good cause, and any restriction would be time‑limited. It also requires a guardian to give the ward at least 14 days’ notice before moving them to a more restrictive residence and to notify certain people—identified in the initial guardianship plan—about the ward’s death, funeral arrangements, and medical transfers. The goal is to protect the rights of adults under guardianship while keeping families informed.
