post about Guardianship of Jones — 2nd DCA Explains §744.312

On April 6, 2018, the 2nd DCA handed down its written opinion which explains under what circumstances a professional guardian is serving as Emergency Temporary Guardian may be appointed as permanent guardian. Generally, our Guardianship Code prohibits a professional guardian who serves as ETG from also, then, serving as permanent guardian. This Jones case explains the two important exceptions to this rule under 744.312. Opinion attached. Pankauski Hauser PLLC handles a number of contested, high dollar guardianship matters, including evidentiary hearings on capacity, appointment and removal of guardians.
