The First District Court of Appeal reversed a trial court's order appointing a Ward's siblings as her guardians instead of her husband, contrary to the Ward's designation of pre-need guardianship, and remanded for further findings. The First District Court of Appeal established new law in two areas of guardianship: (1) the level of competency required to execute a designation of pre-need guardianship; and (2) how to interpret a "best interest" standard that allows a trial judge to override a Ward's designation of a pre-need guardian. Attorneys Bryan Gowdy and Jessie Harrell handled the appeal. The opinion can be found here.
