What documents are required for a guardianship?

In Florida, the documents necessary for a guardianship include a court order from a Circuit Court, a petition for guardianship, a verification of a surety bond, and a certificate of medical examination. The court order must be approved by a judge, and the petition must include information about the person granting guardianship and the proposed guardian. A surety bond is a form of insurance issued by a third party that guarantees financial responsibility or other obligations. The surety bond must be in an amount decided by the court and must be filed with the court when the guardianship is approved. The certificate of medical examination must be completed by a doctor to demonstrate that the proposed guardian is of suitable fitness to assume responsibility for the ward (the person being granted guardianship). This certificate must be provided within 90 days of the court order granting guardianship.
