Navigating Legal Guardianship of Property in Florida with AgedCare: A Trusted Partner
Guardian of Property is someone appointed by the court to manage the financial affairs of a person who can’t do it themselves, maybe because of age, Dementia, Alzheimer’s, an illness, or a disability.
The guardian steps in to make sure the ward’s property and money are taken care of responsibly. This is a fiduciary responsibility requiring a high level of trust.
![](https://agedcareguardian.com/wp-content/w3-webp/uploads/2024/05/elderly-care-senior-people.jpgw3.webp)
![](https://agedcareguardian.com/wp-content/w3-webp/uploads/2024/05/women-working-as-lawyers.jpgw3.webp)
….
The Appointment Process
Becoming a property guardian starts with a court process. It’s a serious role, and the court takes steps to ensure the guardian is trustworthy and will act in the ward’s best interests. Once appointed, the guardian has the authority to handle the ward’s property, but they’re also under the court’s watchful eye.
The court doesn’t just appoint a guardian and walk away. They require regular reports and keep a close check on the guardian’s actions. If a guardian doesn’t live up to their responsibilities, the court can step in to protect the ward’s assets.
![Black horizontal line with square at end. AgedCare brand line](https://agedcareguardian.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/BrandLineBlack.png)
Guardian’s Responsibilities
A property guardian’s job is to manage the ward’s assets wisely. They might pay bills, invest money, or handle real estate, always making sure the ward’s needs come first. It’s a role that comes with a lot of trust and a duty to keep the ward’s best financial interests at heart.

Testimonials
“Engulfed with despair, fear, anxiety, restless nights, and overwhelming sense of helplessness. Those feelings crippled me daily, not knowing what next steps to take, I felt like I was on a deserted island, not wanting to fail my loved one. Thankfully a family member put me in touch with Mr. Homer Hartage. All those negative feelings dissipated after having just one conversation.
Mr. Hartage gave a detailed explanation of my options, which allowed me to make informed decisions about the best options for my family. Again, thank you so much Mr. Hartage for picking up the phone to answer my questions and putting my mind at ease, thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge.
Finally, thank you, sir, for your kindness. During the most stressful times in my life, you answered my call for help. May God shower you and your family with continuous blessings.”

Testimonials
“Honestly, if you work in healthcare and have a resident who needs a guardian I have the most amazing person, Homer Hartage. Never, EVER have I seen such love and devotion to a client in my life .… it takes a lot to impress me because I have such high standards .… my mind is blown. Please let him know if you should have a need for a guardian. Your client/resident truly could not be in better hands. He’s simply amazing.
So refreshing to see a guardian treat their client like a loved one instead of a pay check or commodity …. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life… and I’ve been doing this a minute.”

“In the minds of us all as we age and ponder a future time when we too may need a caring hand. Should you have to make the difficult decision for yourself, a loved one or a friend because they have been judged to lack the capacity or unable to manage their own affairs due to mental or physical incapacity that could be the moment you consider a guardian.” – Gordon H. Smith
