Who supervises the guardians? /  What is the cost in utilizing a professional guardian; attorney, judge or institutionalization of a person?  /  Who really benefits?   Hopefully you may find these answers and more.   Go on your county's website and see what you can find on "Guardianship"and Court Registry Balances .  (usually at the clerk of the court.) 

Also look into the corporations involved.    I have tried to connect some dots for you.    

  

  

Public Guardian Program Website

What is the Fifth Circuit Public Guardian Corporation?
The Fifth Circuit Public Guardian Corporation is a 501(c)(3) charity that was formed by a group of concerned citizens (including judges, lawyers, law enforcement and social service agencies) in January 2001, to address a critical need for a public guardianship program in Marion, Lake, Sumter, Citrus and Hernando County. The Public Guardian Corporation is appointed by the Court to care for adults who are indigent and who are the victims of dementia, serious mental illness or are developmentally disabled. The Public Guardian Program is only appointed to care for persons who are mentally incapacitated and have no family or friends to help them, or whose family or friends have exploited them.

Where does our  funding come from?
The Department of Elder Affairs and United Way of Marion County provide much of the agency funding. They also receive small grants from the Marion County Sheriff, the Marion County Bar Association, the local chapter of the Florida state Guardian Association, as well as civic groups, private foundations and donations from local citizens.

Marion County Clerk

Guardianship division of the Marion County Clerk's Office is to audit and monitor the guardianship files active in Marion County.  Which means they are public records.

Guardianship

Guardianships are established for persons for various reasons; such as an adult who lacks the ability to care for him/herself in some aspect, a minor who has received an inheritance, or a minor who has received a settlement for a personal injury claim. These certainly are not the only reasons that guardianships are established, but the majority of guardianships in Marion County have arisen for needs such as these.

A function of the Guardianship division of the Marion County Clerk's Office is to audit and monitor the guardianship files active in Marion County. We will do our very best to assist the public in any way that we can. However, please be advised that our capacity does not permit us to give out legal advice or guidance in completing the various guardianship reports that are required.

As some guardianships require the filing of a Verified Inventory of Guardian of the Property or an Annual Accounting of the Guardian of the Property, our office charges an audit fee for these reports. Please see the "Fees and Services Charges" page for a breakdown of the audit fees. Also on this website is a link to the Guardianship Training Manual that our office distributes at the Guardianship Education Class taught at Central Florida Community College. This is provided to you for information purposes only.

Are guardianships established for the elderly only?
Guardianships can be established for adults of all ages and are also established for minors in several situations. For example, if a minor has received a settlement greater than $15,000, a guardian of his or her property must be appointed. There are also instances where family members, such as grandparents, are appointed as guardians when the parents of the minor are unwilling or unable to care for the minor child.

What steps can I take if I know an individual that is incapable of caring for themselves and needs a guardian?
The first step is to contact an attorney. The Clerk's office may not give legal advice or guidance in completing the various guardianship forms and reports that are required. If you are able and qualified to serve as guardian, you may petition to be appointed guardian, through an attorney. If you do not wish to be appointed guardian, it is possible that a professional guardian may be appointed.

Guardianship Qualifications
Any resident of this state who is not under any legal disability or the power of another and is 18 years of age or older is qualified to act as guardian of a ward. Further qualifications can be found in Section 744.309 of the Florida Statutes.

Marion County Clerk  -  Court Registry Balances

   Be aware that in the Court Registry are case numbers and listed names of "Plaintiffs Name" as: "Guardianship Of".  (It also contains the defendants name and other information.)

I recommend that all should look into this in your own county.   Make people aware of what is occurring in your county/city.

  (see link below for the Registry of the Court Balances.)

Registry of the Court Balances

This report lists the balance remaining in the Registry by case number. It includes the plaintiff's and defendant's name as well as the last date of activity in the Registry. To further research a case, contact the appropriate department within the Clerk's office. The balances are posted to the site weekly.
