Order Appointing Guardian Advocate {5.905(c)}

5.905(c) - ORDER APPOINTING GUARDIAN ADVOCATE. This form is an order from a Florida Circuit Court that appoints a Guardian Advocate for a person with a developmental disability. It outlines the court's findings, including the nature and scope of the person's inability to make decisions and the specific areas in which they lack decision-making capacity. The form also details the legal powers and duties delegated to the Guardian Advocate, such as applying for government benefits, consenting to medical treatment, and making educational and residency decisions. The court confirms that no alternative measures (e.g., powers of attorney or trust agreements) can adequately address the person's needs, making the appointment of a Guardian Advocate necessary. The order restricts the Guardian Advocate’s authority over certain aspects of the person’s care unless further court approval is obtained. www.FormsWorkflow.com
