If your son is competent to sign the following, it is acceptable in the state of

FL if it is notarized and witnessed. I keep the original and have given a copy

to a relative. Doctor's etc. get a copy and I keep a copy in my handbag. If

this document which a paralegal drew up is not suitable, the library and

business supply stores carry books with documents you can copy and fill in to be

notarized.

For help on Guardianship, you may contact Florida SNAP. They have a grant that

allows their attorneys to do the work at a lower cost than done otherwise. They

have free seminars all the time and post them here. In fact they had a meeting

on Aug. 8th. Don't have a phone # handy but look back in the listing and you

will find it. good luck.
